About ten years ago somebody sent me an old shop decimal chart. It was ripped, faded, and about ready for the trash. I couldn't let it go, so I spent hours restoring it digitally, one number at a time, until it looked the way it did the day it went up on a shop wall. Then I added something of my own: the Kerner Tool and Die Company letterhead, for the shop my uncle Ed owned and my father Fritz ran as General Manager here in Erie from 1944 until the building burned in 1974. This mug carries the part of that chart every machinist uses most, every fraction from 1/64 to 1 inch with its decimal, in bold type you can read from across the bench. The old Kerner shop is drawn on the front. It's an 11 ounce white ceramic mug, with the chart on both sides. The full restored chart is also available as a 24 by 36 inch poster in the Tool
