| Description: |  | Another great idea from Justus Traut and the Stanley Rule and
	 Level Company. This design uses a T-shaped bar, with a grappling
	 clamp to hold the head in place. The concept is pretty simple,
	 but it works quite well.
	 Produced until the late 1890s by Stanley as models #60 and #60-1/2. |  |
