Claim One:
1. A gage master for coordinate measuring machines comprising: a. n.sup.2 substantially identical object means for defining a point in space, where n is an integer .gtoreq.3; b. mounting means for rigidly fastening each object means relative to the other object means to define n.sup.2 points in space, the points being located relative to the coordinate X.sub.0, Y.sub.0, Z.sub.0 at coordinates X.sub.iA, Y.sub.jB, Z.sub.kC where A=unit of distance in the X direction, B=unit of distance in the Y direction, C=unit of distance in the Z direction, i=(0, 1, 2,. .. , n-1), j=(0, 1, 2,. .. , n-1), and for each column X.sub.iA and each row Y.sub.jB, k equals each number of the set (0, 1, 2,. .. , n-1), forming an n.times.n Latin square.
