Original Title: Lapping precision gage blocks
Location: Washington DC (probably)

The Bureau of standards create measurement devices of the highest tolerance. We use their standards of measure so everything we make is uniform and exact. They are the base standard.

These people are making gage blocks. Gage blocks are devices of an exact height, length or thickness. These machines are called lapping machines, basically polishing the final block so its within 0.000005 inches.

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
