[Farmall] O/T tool question

[James Moran]

PS-
Cool and resourceful.  My friend is in the business of representing high end plumbing fixtures and (I gather) he needs "exactness" for things such as shower/tub glass door enclosures as any "mistakes" are costly.  He asked me about this "thing" that he could use from location to location.  I wonder if there is a laser device of some sort that would (accurately) serve his purpose.
Thanks.

I made my own gauge by ripping out two lengths of 1x2, each long enough so
they overlap when extended to the opposite points you wish to measure.  Then
just mark the overlap position with a pencil, take them down, lay them on
the floor, realign the mark, and measure with a tape.  I angled the ends
with a 45 miter to minimize contact error.  You can custom make any size you
need.

(spelling?).  According to him, this is a vintage tool for inside
measurements  (e.g., a shower door enclosure).  He said that it was a metal
tube that "extends" within a space.  I never heard of this thing and the net
was not of much help.
