I have mysterious Interapid gauge. Looks like it is for measuring
internal bores. What is it called?

I don't know what they call that thing, but I'm very sad to see that can of
dishwater next to the box. sob I thought I'd made a small step toward
getting you to drink real beer... g

Looks like a bore gauge for measuring "over and under", perhaps for
cylinder boring/honing.

Obviously, it must be set against calipers or a mic first before checking
the subject bore.

The only big question mark in my head is what kind of bores go down to
0.375", but I guess it might be used to check valve guides, as well.

yeah... the first answer you got was right -- that is BAD beer!

The beer came with the building that I bought, it has a big box of
beer and a whole cabinet of whiskey, rum etc.

I am not much of a drinker, but this Miller Lite is the only beer that
I can actually drink.

Ed, I have to say that I liked your beer, it was pretty good.

Looks like a device for measuring groove diameters inside cylinders. I'd
guess that you pre-set it to the desired diameter with gauge blocks and read
deviation off the scale.

Just "cylinders" in the generic sense of "tubular stuff", or hydraulic
cylinders, or automotive, or what?

As for what its called..no idea. But its a production gauge for
measuring bores or ID grooves.

Production gauges have to be calibrated with a Standard before use.

Anywhere that calls for a snap-ring, o-ring, oil
path, air path etc etc ....

Yeah, I understood that, but the poster said "cylinders"; and that has some
connotations not fully understood by his post.

I fully understand where grooves are appropriate.

My bet is, it's an automotive machining tool, and NOT for hydraulic or
other work.

It looks like a gauge for measuring internal o-ring / snap ring
grooves.. Last shop I worked we made parts that had a .08 wide by .312
dia o-ring groove, the gauge we had was made by Swiss Precision and
had a range of something like .28 - .35 and needed to be checked
against a mic or set ring..

Life is too short to drink beer you can see through! ;-)

Ayup..thats the one.

"INTERAPID IRA 2 The finest precision gauge for measuring by comparison"

Notice that it needs a calibration standard?
