height gauge
A height gauge is a measuring device used either for determining the height of something, or for repetitious marking of items to be worked on. The former type of height gauge is often used in doctor's surgeries to find the height of people.
The vernier height gauge may be used in metal working to mark items for machining at a specific height.
