The instrument consists of two aluminium frames connected by a link. The frames are fitted with two self centering chucks, with two wires (control and test wire) of equal lengths.
An accurately graduated micrometer screw to read 0.01mm is fitted on a frame. One end of a sensitive spirit level is pivoted to one of the frame, the other end on the points of a micrometer screw is fitted in other frame.
