Abstract
A connector (10) having a socket-like opening (11) to be gauged is advanced into position to receive two sets of upright sensing legs (26 and 27) of L-shaped levers (28 and 29). The levers are moved upwardly to position the sensing legs within the connector opening, whereafter the levers are pivoted under urging of springs (57 and 58) to move the legs in opposite directions toward the opposing walls of the connector opening. Movement of the levers are monitored by two banks of linear transformers (72 and 73) to generate signals to actuate a pair of displays (116 and 117) to provide visual representations of the profiles of the opposing walls of the connector opening.
