Engineer's rule & Rod compression gauge
English to German
Tech/Engineering
Engineering (general)
Two special tools:
No drawings are provided, but both tools seem to be used to measure small distances.
Engineer's rule: something like a sliding caliper?
Rod compression gauge: Probably measuring rod compression, unless this is a widely used term.
Help much appreciated!

Gliedermaßstab
One problem is that there is no standard definition of engineer's rule. Sometimes it is considered a slide rule, sometimes a folding rule. My German book on woodworking shows folding rules that are called Gliedermaßstäbe. I think the general idea is that an engineer's rule has finer units of measurement than the average rule. Don't have anything on your other question.

Kompressionsdruckmesser, maybe. But I don\'t know about the rod unless it\'s a Triebstange.

Comment: "Thank you Kim.
I ended up using Schieblehre, it seemed to be general enought to not be incorrect.
