Gage vs. Gauge
It also describes
the interior diameter of a shotgun barrel ("12 gauge", "14 gauge")
the exterior diameter of an electrical wire ("16 gauge" "8 gauge")
NOTE: for both of these, the larger the number, the smaller the
actual dimension
the spacing of track rails ("Narrow gauge", "broad gauge")
