An American Standard Wire Gauge is used to measure wires ranging in size from number 0 to number 36. To use this gauge,
insert the wire to be measured into the smallest slot that will just accommodate the bare wire. The gauge
number on that slot indicates the wire size. The front part of the slot has parallel sides, and this is
where the wire measurement is taken. It should not be confused with the larger semicircular opening at the rear
of the slot. The rear opening simply permits the free movement of
the wire all the way through the slot.
