French term or phrase: jauge de profondeur à talon
One of a number of instruments used to check dimensions on a machined part.
Clearly a depth gauge --- but any glittering ideas about the 'à talon' part?

purpose?
Explanation:
Just looking and some of Bistefano's fancy plug gauges, some of which have "talons", as I understand the word, I wonder if it is not a means of checking not just the depth of a bore (it is holes you're measuring, isn't it?) but also their perpendicularity. If the oversize ring or shoulder (talon) at the top is not fully in contact with the surface, the hole is not deep enough and/or not perpendicular (even if the "length" of the hole is the right dimension). Of course this implies that your depth gauges are made to plug gauge diametral tolerances.

Otherwise, have a look at http://www.asteg.com/12measinst/PreisserCalipergaugesTapes.h...
which shows Vernier depth gauges, some with \"spikes\" on the bit that goes in the hole. This would also give some measure of verticality by centering the device to some extent (more than a plain, small diameter/width shaft in the hole, which could be way off-centre).

Bead depth gauge


Explanation:
It could be a gauge for testing bead depth, see the following (and many more) sites, if you have a picture of it you can tell if it's the same.

Anyway, "à talon" here simply means that has a beaded face.

...depth gauge at/with the/a heel


Explanation:
à talon means for the heel or with a heel. If you could show the context of this phrase it would help greatly in finding out the appropriate englich terms or expression.
It could also mean at the deepest part or it could also mean "mold".
Is this related to a chain saw?
