Please find the attached link to a free pdf about micrometers.

Pages 4-7 are a brief but fascinating study on the sociology of micrometers. Specifically how micrometers reflect the needs of their users/purchaser in a historical context. These three pages are the best read of the week!

Pages 7-8 is a brief guide to micrometer selection.

Pages 8-11 speaks to the care and feeding of mics.

The balance of the document is a glimpse into most of the mic manufactures throughout history and delves into many of the various models that each manufacture manufactured and the intended application.

Happy reading.
