Both spellings are correct. When you are talking about the size of cable, gauge is the typical way it is spelled. When you are talking about inspection equipment gage is the typical spelling. I came across this years ago when I became the Divisional Gage Designer for a large automotive supplier. Most engineers are great at math but can't spell worth a **** that is what I figured, but ten years later I still haven't found out for sure. Thats my two cents, I have to go design more gages.
