Height Gage Magnifier

I have this old Starrett 12" height gage that I like to use for layouts. Eyes are not what they used to be so I needed an assist.
Cut a slice of magnifier from an old Bausch and Lomb reading magnifier. I glued it to the vernier slide and there it is. Instant 2X
magnification. Much faster than holding up my little round magnifier to the scale.

Cheers, JR
