        Description: |  
| The purposes of my invention are, first, to provide a micrometer adapted to measure the fractional parts of an inch divided on the scale of the ordinary carpenter's rule, to wit, one-half, one-quarter, one-eighth, one-sixteenth of an inch, and so on to one sixty fourth of an inch, also one-tenth part of one sixty-fourth of an inch; 
second, to provide an improved adjustable nut inclosing the micrometer-screw, and through which said screw works; third, to provide a conical screw thimble of improved construction for clumping the adjustable nut against the micrometer-screw; 
fourth, to securely enclose the working parts of the micrometer to protect them from injury; 
fifth, to provide an improved means for attaching the micrometer screw to the outer shell of the micrometer, thus attaining more perfect alignment of the parts; 
sixth, to provide a convenient and effective means for clamping the micrometer to the micrometer-stand when used as a surface gage, &c.
