gaugers
Those who measure
Gaugers is the plural of gauger, a person who measures or calibrates.
Historically, gaugers were officials who measured the contents of casks for taxation purposes, particularly for alcohol: The gaugers inspected every barrel before it left the distillery.
More broadly, anyone who gauges—estimates, measures, or assesses—can be called a gauger.
