REALLY MEASURES BY LIGHT
Instrument OF Marvellous Delicacy
That Does It's Work Along Ex-
tremeiy Simple Rules.

The delicate measurements de-
mauded by modern processes and
machines have led to the invention
of many instruments Of precision
that surprise the uninitiated by
their capabilities. which are often
based on extremely simple rules
Among these is Il little apparatus
put upon the market for deterr>in-
inc the thickness. or, as one might
say, lack Of thickness, Of extremely
thin plates. wires and threads. The
inventor hkens It's action To that Of
a lever in which a ray Of light takes
the place of the beam. Essentially
the apparatus consists Of two care
fully ground plates in contact with
one another, the upper one being at
tached to a movable arm. When an
object is placed between the edges
of the plates the upper plate is dis
placed little in level, and the ef-
feet Of this displacement is magni-
fed BY a reflected ray of light which
falls upon a graduated scale. Thus
the most delicate measurements of
thickness are easily and quickly
made.
