The essential double-swivel Universal Head

The head shown with its front rotated to place the spindle facing forwards and equipped with the makers "Zero-set" attachment. Although vernier scales and extractor dowels were provided as part of the standard equipment, where even higher accuracy was required this attachment was necessary. The unit consisted of sensors and positioning buttons that allowed the head to be set at the four principal 90° positions and also for the vertical and horizontal positions of the spindle. Readings were shown on an electronic indicator fastened to the column. Positioning accuracy was claimed as being to within 0.925 mm (0.0005") at the outer end of a 305 mm (12-inch) test bar held in the spindle nose.

Section through the Universal Head showing the pre-loaded double-taper roller bearings. On the High-Column model these bearings were listed as being of the very much more expensive, high-precision Gamet - presumably in place of ones having an ordinary level of accuracy.

On the CS range of Elgamills rulers and verniers were provided as standard equipment - these able to be augmented by illuminated magnifying readers that improved both the speed and accuracy of the reading. Other measuring systems such as the about-to-be-obsolete optical readers and recently introduced digital readouts were also available.
