"Vintage Machinery" entry for Billings & Spencer Co.
Description:
This patent covers a novel method of constructing a set of outside calipers, wherein the main beam is made by holding a slotted plate between two slotted bars. This not only protects the graduations from wear, but simplifies the construction.

This tool also provides a micro-adjust feature which is actuated by a spring. This same adjustment was used on a line of marking gauges produced but the same company.

Known examples of the tool are marked with the manufacturer and inventors name, as well as the patent date.
