Micrometer types
#53
I have been adding to my collection of micrometers by keeping an eye on eBay and snapping them up when I see them cheap. One of the reasons for this is that I recently needed to be able to accurately measure in the 100-125mm range, so I ended up buying a new V436.1MXRL-125 for $80 (shipped to PixMan). Now this is a very nice mic and worth a lot more than I paid for it, and I certainly have no issues with the price for the quality. Also, its need was pretty important. However, I did kick myself as when I bought the 0-100mm set there was a 436MRL-125 for around the $30 mark that I didn't bid on, as at the time I didn't think I would ever need one in that size range!

So - fast forward to now and I have a set of Starrett 436 mics that covers 0-200mm (approx 8"). I believe that this will suffice my needs and probably would have stopped at 150mm (6") but I saw the 175-200mm mic in a lot of 3 (another 436M-200 and a Prazision Falke 3-4" disc mic) for $30 and the 150-175mm for $20 and at those prices, I couldn't let them go. I'm going to sell the surplus 175-200mm mic and the 3-4" disc mic, both of which are currently located in MA.

One of the things that I found interesting was in one of the boxes there was a Starrett flyer, which I assume arrived with the mic when it was purchased new (although it may not be the original box). I thought it was interesting to see the price of the tools at that time and if I had to guess, I'd say it is from the 60s (the wooden box would suggest this period as well).

In the other box was a couple of drawings for a part (looks a little like a bearing race), with a date stamp on one showing 1967.

I thought I would share them with you. The flyer had to be scanned in 4 pieces, as it is an odd size (about 10" square). As such, I had to chop it up in photoshop, as the top 1/3 folds over and was upside down as a result when scanned. I haven't adjusted the size or the colours in any way, so the file is pretty big and I had to upload each page separately.

Hmmmm - I wonder if I could get Starrett to honour those prices Cool
