Pat,Nice bit of Rockford history. Thanks for sharing it. It's likely obvious to watch or tool folks, but I have to wonder what it is called and what it's used for? Some sort of indexing? As always, many thanks for helping educate neophytes.
OK.This is NOT micrometer that measures metric or imperial. Went to use it and got very strange numbers. Checked with metric imperial feeler gauges and against other mikes. Did Rockford have their own system of unitsI'll save you the trouble Dewey. Here is an inside view of mine.

Good thought!! I am at a rigging course for the week but I will check when I get back.FRom its jaw shape it looks like it might be a mainspring thickness gauge and may be calibrated in mainspring strengths
Nope, not Mainspring gauge. It is a ratio scale (50 IS twos time 25) but I have no idea what the system of measurement. Nothing has been modified or replaced. The racks and pinions are not modified.FRom its jaw shape it looks like it might be a mainspring thickness gauge and may be calibrated in mainspring strengths
