C. E. Johansson wanted to develop a set of combination gauge blocks that could be combined with each other to be able to provide all the measurements needed in industrial manufacturing. His combination gauge first had 102, then 46 pieces of steel that became world famous. The steel pieces' surfaces were so even that they were held together and could not be pulled apart. Instead, they would be pushed apart laterally. The pieces of steel could form a rod of precise length that could be picked up and held without falling apart. It was used to calibrate other measuring tools and machines. He went down in history as Mått-Johansson and worked for a time for Henry Ford in the USA.
