Firstly, I wish to thank AB for sending me a Federal brand large dial indicator. As a bonus, and to my surprise, where two miniature (by comparison) dial indicators known as test indicators. These are apparently used for indicating holes etc.

I would have taken a few shots of the baby indicators, but the battery is flat in the camera, how typical. Trying to find the charger in my son's bedroom, is beyond belief.

Talking about indicators, I came across a couple of YouTube movies that I found more than interesting. I'll say no more, here are the links.
