Introduction
Lego is a line of plastic construction toys that are manufactured by The Lego
Group a toy plastic brick with studs which can be connected to other plastic
bricks and used to construct toy buildings, vehicles, etc.

Inspection by comparison methods:
In these methods the surface texture is assessed by observation of the surface. The surface to be
tested is compared with known value of roughness specimen and finished by similar machining
process.
1. Touch Inspection.
2. Visual Inspection.
3. Microscopic Inspection.
4. Scratch Inspection.
5. Micro Interferometer.

COMPARATORS
Comparators are one form of linear measurement device which is quick and more convenient for
checking large number of identical dimensions. Comparators normally will not show the actual
dimensions of the work piece. They will be shown only the deviation in size. i.e. During the
measurement a comparator is able to give the deviation of the dimension from the set dimension.
This cannot be used as an absolute measuring device but can only compare two dimensions.
Comparators are designed in several types to meet various conditions. Comparators of every type
incorporate some kind of magnifying device. The magnifying device magnifies how much
dimension deviates, plus or minus, from the standard size.
The comparators are classified according to the principles used for obtaining magnification. The
common types are: 1) Mechanical comparators 2) Electrical comparators 3) Optical comparators
4) Pneumatic comparators

Mechanical Comparator
Dial Indicator
A dial indicator or dial gauge is used as a mechanical comparator. The essential parts of the
instrument are like a small clock with a plunger projecting at the bottom as shown in fig. Very
slight upward movement on the plunger moves it upward and the movement is indicated by the
dial pointer. The dial is graduated into 100 divisions. A full revolution of the pointer about this
scale corresponds to 1mm travel of the plunger. Thus, a turn of the pointer b one scale division
(I) Determining the error in geometrical form, say, taper, roundness, ovality etc.
(ii) Determining the errors is surfaces, say alignment, Parallelism, squareness etc.
(iii) Used for comparison of two heights or distance within small limits
