Objects associated with the product development of the Moore and Wright electronic digital micrometer, the Micro 2000, between the years 1973 to 1979 and equipment used to demonstrate this development, mechanical parts made by Moore & Wright; designed by Patcentre International, Herts.; gratings and electronic parts made by Stephen, R.A.Co
An assembly to demonstrate to the public the principle of ' Moire Fringes', consisting of a fixed grid plate and an inclined horizontally movable front grid.
Working demonstration unit to show in enlarged form the operating principles of the Moore & Wright micro 2000 digital micrometer and provide a digital readout.
An early micro 2000 large scale prototype or technical mock up to prove the validity of the system; consisting of the mechanical components, the opotics and an external circuit board to give output signals to a counter and display unit; probably /5.
Counter and display unit presumably used to allow for the development of the optic and mechanical components of the hand held unit in miniaturised form. The hand held units could be plugged into this electronic board and thus test the performance of the miniaturised components thus so far developed.
An early digital micrometer prototype that needed to be plugged into the /5 unit.
An early digital micrometer prototype, thought to be later than /6 that also needed to be plugged into the /5 unit for power but has digital readout.
The finalised design, battery powered, self contained hand held digital micrometer, sectioned to show the components and with an additional circuit board.
Hand held digital micrometer minus outer covering
