I recently acquired this caliper made by Lufkin Tools. Now calipers are quite common, but never seen one quite like this one.
The short "leg" is fixed to the left arm (as seen in the pics). It has a threaded adjustment screw, but the adjuster only functions to about .875" open at the tips. At 1" opening the adjuster comes unthreaded. With such a relatively large frame it makes me wonder what its intended purpose was. Does anybody know what it is meant for?
Thanks!
