Thread gauges.

 

metric and inch. 
 

all the ones I can currently find are metric and whitworth.

 

IIRC Whitworth  pitch is not the same as UNF and UNC

 

So why can’t I find and other inch gauges. Or am I missing something?

My old works machineshop would be worth a fortune, at Kodak engineering we would run into BA Witworth , UNC, UNF , Metric , BSPT , BSPP, NPT most threads.... and the unknown threads using by manufacturers to ensure you only use the fittings they provide...  was good fun finding the right fastener or fitting for the  job.
