G.Day Each and a Merry Christmas.
For a number of years now i have been using a Vernier Height Gauge.
I first started using Height Gauges in the Aircraft Industry in Coventry UK.
They were the usual Vernier type of a small scale adjusted by a threaded button which allowed the scale to advance or retract until the correct measurement was obtained.
My Gauge is of the more modern type whereby the scale (which is much larger) is moved continuously by turning a large knob on the side or for finer movement a small knob at the rear.
Now due to the age problem and ones eye sight not being as was when young i decided to take a look at the Digital Height Gauge.
I have used a Digital Sliding Gauge for as long as they have been available and found them to be the cats whisker.
First the information is larger and clear,Metric or Imperial some with Fractions which can be altered with the touch of a button.
So i decided on purchasing an 18" Dual Post type Digital Height Gauge from a guy in USA who advertised on eBay.
After trying to get information on the Postage in order to complete the transaction it transpires that he cannot Post to Australia due to Weight.
Back to the Drawing Board,go to Google and type in Electronic Digital Height Gauge.
Wonderful,plenty of contacts to view but the prices asked are very wide,from $4700.00 US
to $95.00 US.
But still no information on weather or not they will supply One,and at what cost.
Plenty of contacts from companies wishing to supply large quantities.
Its very frustrating.
I am wondering if anyone out there has information on purchasing a Dual Post Digital type Height Gauge? at a fair price.
