Description: |
|
A fairly indecipherable piece, combining several functions into a
single gage. This tool can be used as a marking gage for
irregular surfaces, a panel gage, a square, a bevel gage,
trammels, and a divider. Unfortunately, the patent claims are so
poorly described that I cannot make heads or tails of how it is
actually supposed to accomplish these wonders.
The patent is an improvement on an earlier patent by the same
inventor (45932), which was for a tool designed for marking off
skirting board for stairs.
