Found this. Didn't write it. Don't know if it's correct.

Jeez, someone has taken a lot of time to analyze dial indicators.

FWIW, there is a lot of junk on the market because, worldwide, there isn't
much of a market for dial indicators anymore. Mitutoyo built a little plant
to make them in the US (some suburb south of Chicago; I forget which)
because the US was just about the last market in the developed world that
would buy them. The rest of the world uses digitals.

I have both and prefer dial test indicators for on-machine use and for
comparison measurements, although I like digitals for off-machine gaging
applications.
