Description: |
|
This patent marks the first appearance of prolific Stanley
inventor Justus Traut in the world of marking gages. This
particular patent covers the brass "gib" used to protect the arm
from the retaining screw, as well as the new mehod of
constructing mortise gages with a split shaft and captive slider.
Both of these patented ideas were used on Stanley tools for over
80 years, and the brass shoe is still in use on many gages to
this day.
