You have a very good memory Frank. That is what it was designed for.

They weren't always used in inspection rooms. The last company I worked at had 6 of the Mitutoyo versions sitting on surface plates around the shop. We used them for measuring all the stuff we ground, checking over roll pins to locate angles, checking of gage balls and such. The mold industry, depending on what types of injection molds you make still uses a lot tools that would be considered old school now. Ram EDM machines, Manual surface grinders, Cadillac gages, Newbould indexers, Harig Grind-alls, Precise heads, Volstro heads and many other oddball pieces of equipment. We used to build molds for the electronics industry that were toleranced at +.0000/ -.0002, needed to be put together in temp controlled rooms.
Things like this depend on what type of machine work you do as to if there useful, common or not.
