American wire gauge (AWG) is a way of specifying wire sizes, where each gauge represents a different wire diameter. It was originally applied to non-ferrous, conducting wire, but lately is commonly used to specify body piercing jewelry sizes in the United States.In common with many non-metric gauging systems, the measurement involved (wire diameter in this case) decreases with increasing gauge number.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Gauge is an engineering term referring to a measure of width or thickness, or to devices used to make measurements (originally of width or thickness). It can also be used as a verb to describe the act of taking a measurement, typically an estimate.Gauge is most commonly used when referring to railways, where gauge referrs to the distance between the two rails of the roadbed (eg standard gauge, narrow gauge).
The term is also used in the measurement of metal sheeting, where it refers to the thickness of the sheet.
It is more rarely used to refer to the internal dimensions of a cannon.
See also rail gauge.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | INCOME, n. The natural and rational gauge and measure of respectability, the commonly accepted standards being artificial, arbitrary and fallacious; for, as "Sir Sycophas Chrysolater" in the play has justly remarked, "the true use and function of property (in whatsoever it consisteth -- coins, or land, or houses, or merchant- stuff, or anything which may be named as holden of right to one's own subservience) as also of honors, titles, preferments and place, and all favor and acquaintance of persons of quality or ableness, are but to get money. Hence it followeth that all things are truly to be rated as of worth in measure of their serviceableness to that end; and their possessors should take rank in agreement thereto, neither the lord of an unproducing manor, howsoever broad and ancient, nor he who bears an unremunerate dignity, nor yet the pauper favorite of a king, being esteemed of level excellency with him whose riches are of daily accretion; and hardly should they whose wealth is barren claim and rightly take more honor than the poor and unworthy." |
