EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Orthotest high-precision measuring device, a remarkable tool that revolutionized engineering practices in the early 20th century. The device, manufactured by Alfred Herbert Ltd in Coventry, England, allowed measurements to be obtained with an astonishing accuracy of . 0005 inch. The image showcases the intricate details of this advanced instrument. With a scale range of . 004 inch on either side of zero and adjustable limit pointers, engineers could achieve precise measurements for their work. This photograph was originally featured as an illustration in Arthur W Judge's Engineering Workshop Practice book, published around 1936. The historical significance of this photograph cannot be understated. It represents a pivotal moment in British engineering history when advancements like the Orthotest were pushing boundaries and setting new standards for precision measurement. Captured by an English photographer from Look and Learn magazine, this print now resides in a private collection. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only its technical importance but also its artistic value. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of the ingenuity and dedication that went into creating such groundbreaking devices. It serves as a testament to human innovation and our relentless pursuit of accuracy and excellence in engineering practices throughout history.
