1. A system to automatically record a plurality of measurements and verify one or more rock specimens, comprising:

  • a server system with a processor system, a communications interface, a communications system, an input system and an output system, the server system having access to a communications network;

    a memory system with an operating system, a communications module, a web browser module, a web server application and a rock specimens recording and verifying non-transitory storage media, the rock specimens recording and verifying non-transitory storage media resides on the memory system and includes a plurality of rock specimens data, the processor system is in communication with the memory system via the communications system;

    a support surface with a flat test surface, the flat test surface allows obtaining a plurality of precise rock specimen data;

    a motorized stage, with a motorized base or a motorized linear translator slide, the motorized stage disposed on the support surface, the motorized stage includes a pair of sensors, a linear incremental encoder for measuring position along an axis of motion and a tachogenerator for controlling speed of the motorized stage, the motorized stage performs movement and positioning of the one or more rock specimens along a chosen axis of motion;

    a plate having a plurality of alignment pins;

    a V-block configured by the alignment pins into a pair of orthogonal orientations of the support surface;

    one or more digital dial gauges with a magnetic stand, the one or more digital dial gauges each having a digital dial gauge tip passing over a surface of the one or more rock specimens;

    a measurement system controller with a plurality of control electronics, the measurement system controller electrically controls the system to automatically record a plurality of measurements and verify the one or more rock specimens;

    a slide motion controller moving the motorized stage forward and backward; and

    a moving frame mounted to slide along a side of the support surface above the flat test surface, the motorized stage, the plate, the V-block with the one or more rock specimens and the one or more digital dial gauges.
