A profile gauge resembles a comb, but with steel teeth that are set tightly against one another. When pressed against an object they will conform to the shape of that object's profile - hence 'profile gauge'. Profile gauges are used widely in engineering, but also have other applications, such as within archaeological illustration where they are used to attain the accurate shape of objects - most typically the profile of pots.
