WORLDS MOST
ACCURATE MAN
IN CALESBURC
C. Z. JohanssOn of Sweden Spends
Week End in City-Is Inventor
of Measuring Blocks.
Especial Correspondence. J

Galesburg, ILL.,, Nov. 22-"The
most accurate man in the world"
was in Galesburg last weekend
c. E. Johansson of Eskilstuna,
Sweden. He is also known as the
Edison of Sweden" He is noted
as the inventor of the worlds
standard measuring blocks, which
are in mis- possession at the present
time at his factory in Sweden. All
industrial engineers the world over
must go to Mr.. Johansson for their
standards. By specializing in the
development of accurate measures
he has made possible the exchange
ability of mechanical parts.
His title of the most accu-
rate man" was derived from the
fact that he delves in such small
measurements as a millionth of
an inch, a large task at best. a
millionth of an inch is equal to
two-thOusandths of the breath of a
human hair. The eighty-oue stand
ard blocks invented by Mr.. Johans-
son may be placed together in 264
294 combinations The blocks are
so smooth that they stick together
when placed one upon the other.
Twenty years were required by the
inventor to perfect his work.
