Description:
A machinist-style scratch gage, which uses a jam-nut for holding the arm. This is a great idea, and would hold firmly and be easy to adjust.

I have come across several apparantly manufactured pieces which use this locking mechanism, but none have been marked with the patent date. Since this is a fairly obvious idea, I hesitate to say that these pieces are based on this patent.
