Also Sprach Dan Krueger :
9ga wire is thicker than 12 ga wire, etc. I don't know of any other products where smaller is bigger... Shotguns and fishing hooks... Dan -- Give a hungry man a fish and you have fed him for a day, but give him a case of dynamite and soon the entire village will be showered with mud and water and hard-to-identify little chunks of fish. |

This is from a glass glossary off the web: "Light: Another term for an entire stained glass window or a portion of one with defined boundaries." So "lights per inch" is the same as sheets of glass per inch. I measured the gauge and found that each number on that side of it was indeed a fraction of an inch. I did some research on the web, and found a historical Pittsburg site in which there were several references to G.W. Klages on a "Pittsburgh commodity index" page from 1913. All references to Klages mention glass cutting, as seen in the link below: http://digital.library.pitt.edu/cgi-...dno=00awn7766m |
Sure enough... And I own a 12 ga and a 20 ga. Unfortunately, the gauge in the
photo couldn't measure the diameter of either one but you are still correct! Dan LaBomba182 wrote: Subject: Anyone recognize this object?
