[modeleng] Re: low cost digital readout

Good morning Bruce,
   
  The DRO thing is simply a digital vernier caliper sold by Aldi (a 'cheapy' 
supermarket that occasionally has some very cheap items of interest to model 
engineers.....they possibly bought a production over-run from the Far East).  
The author demonstrated how he fitted it to the cross-slide of his Myford.  I 
do not think that he intended it to be a permanent fitting, just one to be used 
on an "as needs" basis.
   
  Best wishes,

  Hello all,

I just noticed in the latest issue of Model Engineer (delivered surface mail 
here in the States) that the next issue will have an article on a low cost 
digital readout for an ML7. I am a subscriber (but the next issue may be 3 
weeks off), but I would really like to know what brand DRO is specified. The 
issue should be the current issue in England. I would like to research the 
relevant product on the web.
