Measurement of taper plug gauge.

In triangle ABC it is seen that h is the height of the gauge blocks and
BC=(M2 -MJ/2, in which Mi and M 2
are the measurements over the rollers.

Fig. 4.S. Measurement of the diameter

of the small ~nd of a taper plug gauge.

Thus the semi-angle of taper can be

determined by direct measurement.
To find the maximum and minimum
diameters at the top and bottom of the
step it is first necessary to determine D,,
the diameter at the small end. Fig. 4.5
represents the small end of the gauge
during the measurement of Mi.

It is seen that

Mi=Da+2r+2x
