RAINNFALL GIVES SLIGHT RELIEF ( (CONTINUED FROM PARS ?NE) j : tiou. 1 1 Bloomington. Ind., Feb. 7 —(U.R) 1 — Last night's rainfall added 1 nearly a month to the water eup- i ply in Bloomington's city reser--’ voir, and averted all danger of a ; watur famine, according to ani nouncemeut today by Mayor James M.

P ' m ’ GAUGE MAKES i; MOST MINUTE i MEASUREMENTS I —: — ‘ Bureau of Standards I)e-i velops New Instrument For Workers J By J. \V. Young . United Press Science Correspondent Washington, Feb. 7 —(UP) — A 3 new instrument which makes mea'surements so accurately that it is ,]apt to tie out not more than four hundred-thousands (.00004) of an j inch one way or the other and does) it withou: touching the parts being! gauged has been developed by Dr. j 1 I. C. Garner of he U- S. Bureau of 1 ] Standards here. j it is called an optical coincidence J (gauge. One eyepiece which will mag I s j nify 85 diameters prisms to change j ; he direction of sight and adjusting - lens make up this novel instrument. l ' j The operator looks into the eye ! piece, focusses it, and by careful 'adjustment makes two points the I distance between which is being I measured, appear to be in almost a'the same spot. He then roads on a 3.)scale the distance between these s'spots accurate within four hundh red-thousandths of an inch. The ine strument is so ruggedly constructed v- i and so easy to operate that such e-! accuracy is reached in routine mda n i surements. 'el One application of this long disIs tance measuring is the finding ol n j the exact size of a piece of casting id l which has just been poured fro'm it, J molten metal and before it has cool to! ed enough to be touched. If the opn. j Meal gauge is tltted with a periscope i.v. system, measurements can be made 'far in the interior of hallow cast's. lings where it would be impossible . .or very difficult to take a mechani n. i cal measuring instrument, b-j Even the thickness of a coat of to] pain: can readily be found with the al now optical gauge. The diameter of ■ a precision grinding wheel or lathe n. cau also be accurately determined iy without stopping the machine.
