Well there is that.

However, I did 'borrow' a dab of whatever goop they folks in Assembly

Also, I learned that there are gibs in dial calipers, and the reason my
6" ones were "off" was that they were worn and not aligned. So there was
room to move the traveling arm "just enough" to allow for a 3 thou
discrepancy.
