        Description: |  
| 
	 This patent is not for a marking gage, but rather for a method
	 of tightening gage heads that could be used on a marking gage
	 or similar tool.
	 The idea here is fairly simple-- a bent level rides in a tight
	 slot such that it forces the side of the slot into the gage arm.
	 These would be cheap to produce, and probably would work well.
