<DIV><FONT size=2>My question was calipers vs. micrometers, regardless =
of the
source country. Conrad mentioned that he uses calipers for plain =
wire, and
the micrometer for the wound strings (where the caliper jaws tend to =
slip into
the windings).</FONT></DIV>

You will not regret it! Save yer pennies/dollars and get the good =
