| Description: |  | Justus Traut of the Stanley Rule and Level Company is back, this
	 time with a pretty blatant ripoff of Alban Heiran's patent
	 (219942) for "bumpers" on a marking gage face. The only
	 difference between this and the earlier patent is that Heiran
	 used rollers, while Traut just uses cast bumps.
	 One new idea in this patent is the capability to mark off of
	 bevelled edges by using the same "bumper" turned 90 degrees. I
	 don't think Stanley ever put this horizontal bumper into
	 production, but the twin bumpers were a mainstay of the Stanley
	 line for many years. |  |
