re. that cylinder square it is only part of a complete squareness measurement system. I designed one and helped develop a prototype for a metrology company I worked for but I'm sure ther were others on the market . It looked similar to a height gage but the front edge of the base had a compound radius.Attached to the base was a vertical column with a .0001"dial indicator which was adjustable for height and it read horizontally as opposed to vertically as in most dial indicator applications. You would adjust the height of the indicator according to your application, then rolling the base with the compound radius against the bottom of the cylinder would set the indicator to zero, then transfer to your workpice and then read the difference. I don't belive they sold a lot of them and I don't know if they are sill offered.

I just made an attachment for my surface gage to accomplish this. I have an 0.0005" indicator in the photo, but I have lots of 0.0001" to choose from.
