A workpiece gaging system includes carriage structure for a gaging part, movable longitudinally and laterally, and a rotor to rotate that structure; also indicator means is operatively connected with the part to indicate the status of engagement, displacement, or need for displacement, of the gaging part relative to a surface or surfaces (such as pipe threads) to be gaged, as at multiple locations. Measurement encoding and signal processing means are also provided.

1. In an instrument for gaging surfaces of a workpiece, the combination comprising (a) a gaging part engageable with the work surfaces, (b) carriage structure for said part, said structure including a first slide section movable longitudinally, a second slide section movable laterally, relative to the first slide section, and a rotor for rotating at least a first of said sections and said part about an axis that extends generally longitudinally, one of said slide sections carried by other, and frame means supporting said carriage structure for said slide section movement and rotor rotation, (c) and indicator means operatively connected with said part for indicating the status of displacement of the gaging part relative to a surface to be gaged, (d) and including a mounting for said part adapted to deflect upon pressural engagement of said part with a surface to be gaged, said indicator means including sensor means associated with said mounting to signal the extent of said deflection. 2. The combination of claim 1 wherein said sections are carried by the rotor for bodily rotation about said axis. 3. The combination of claim 1 wherein said longitudinally movable section is carried by said laterally movable section, said sections being carried by the rotor for bodily rotation about said axis, said sections having neutral positions, and including springs located to urge said sections toward said neutral positions, there being a handle on said carriage structure which is manually graspable and manipulable for urging the sections away from said neutral positions. 4. The combination of claim 2 wherein said laterally movable section has adjustable lateral connection to the rotor adapting said sections to adjustable lateral positioning relative to the rotor axis. 5. The combination of claim 4 wherein said adjustable lateral positioning defines inverted lateral positions of the sections at one side of said axis. 6. The combination of claim 4 including said work in the form of pipe having threading to be gaged, the threads defining pin or box connections, said lateral positions respectively locating the sections for gaging of pin and box threads. 7. The combination of claim 1 wherein said indicator means includes longitudinal indicator means for indicating the status of longitudinal displacement of said part relative to a surface to be gaged. 8. The combination of claim 7 wherein said longitudinal indicator means includes ADVANCE and ARRIVED longitudinal indiators respectively indicating the need for further longitudinal advancement of said part, and the arrival of said part, relative to the surface to be gaged. 9. The combination of claim 7 wherein said indicator means includes lateral indicator means for indicating the status of lateral displacement of said part relative to a surface to be gaged. 10. The combination of claim 9 wherein said lateral indicator means includes ADVANCE and ARRIVED lateral indicators respectively indicating the need for further lateral advancement of said part, and the arrival of said part, relative to the surface to be gaged. 11. The combination of claim 8 including a RETRACT longitudinal indicator for indicating the need to longitudinally retract said part. 12. The combination of claim 1 wherein said frame means includes an annularly extending frame section rotatably supporting said rotor, and a support adjustably supporting said annularly extending frame section. 13. In a instrument for gaging surfaces of workpiece, the combination comprising (a) a gaging part engageable with the work surfaces, (b) carriage structure for said part, said structure including a first slide section movable longitudinally, a second slide section movable laterally, and a rotor for rotating at least a first of said sections and said part about an axis that extends generally longitudinally, one of said sections carried by the other, (c) indicator means operatively connected with said part for indicating the status of displacement of the gaging part relative to a surface to be gaged, (d) and frame means supporting said carriage structure for said movements and rotation, (e) the first section carried by the second section, and the second section carried by the rotor, and including a control operable to effect said lateral movement of the second section, and a safety means coupled to said control to block transmission or predetermined force acting to press said gaging part against a work surface. 14. The combination of claim 1 wherein the first section is carried by the second section, there being a slide mounting the first section for guided movement longitudially therealong, the slide carried by the second section, and manually controllable means operatively connected to the first section and said slide and which is manually movable for longitudinally moving the first section along and relative to the slide, said gaging part carried by said first section. 15. In an instrument for gaging surfaces of a workpiece, the combination comprising (a) a gaging part engageable with the work surfaces, (b) carriage structure for said part, said structure including a first slidable section movable longitudinally, a second slidable section movable laterally, and a rotor for rotating at least a first of said sections and said part about an axis that extends generally longitudinally, one of said sections carried by the other. (c) and indicator means operatively connected with said part for indicating the status of displacement of the gaging part relative to a surface to be gaged, (d) and frame means supporting said carriage structure for said movement and rotation, (e) the first section carried by the second section, there being a slide mounting the first section for guided movement longitudinally therealong, the slide carried by the second section, and manually controllable means operatively connected to the first section and said slide and which is manually movable for longitudinally moving the first section along and relative to the slide, said gaging part carried by said first section, (f) said indicator means including directing means for additionally directing movement of the part in a rotary direction to a second angular position and then generally axially to each of a second series of gaging positions on the workpiece, and to additionally direct movement of the part on a rotary direction to a third angular position and then generally axially to each of third series of gaging locations on the workpiece, and to additionally direct movement of the part in a rotary direction to a fourth angular position and then generally axially to each of a fourth series of gaging locations on the workpiece. 16. The apparatus of claim 15 wherein said first, second, third and fourth angular positions are at about 90° intervals about a common axis of rotation. 17. In apparatus, of the character described, for gaging surfaces of a workpiece, the combination comprising (a) a gaging part engagable with the work surface, and (b) means for directing movement of said part in a rotary direction to a first angular position, and then generally axially to each of a first series of gaging locations on the workpiece, (c) said locations being defined by surfaces associated with a workpiece thread.
