![]() 7881 forum posts 397 photos | And if you do a google search for "Digital outside calipers" you will find this interesting mix of new and old tooling. Internal version is also available. Looks very handy for measuring oddly shaped things. And not very expensive at circa 30 Quid. I have seen the figure 8 type referred to in an American cylinder head porting book as "indicating calipers" but a google search shows nothing under that except normal digital calipers and the above.
