In
1905, William Taylor explained the concept of a relation between the cross-checking
of two component.
- Checking the Specific dimensions in the component.
- Checking with different element in the dimensions.
This is known as Taylor's Principle used in design of machine element.
Taylor stated 2 gauges
- Go Gauge
- NoGo gauge
Go Gauge: it should check all the possible elements in the dimensions of a component at a time.
NoGo gauge: it should check only one dimension at a time.
According to Taylor, Go gauge and NoGo gauge is designed to check the maximum and minimum material limits.
