I have tried multiple search engines looking for P&G and have found nothing
in the past but it would seem that the tool has not been totally forgotten.

The Ed Iskenderian experiment is interesting. It would tend to show that
moving valve clearances reasonable amounts will not make much difference in
dynamometer HP figures. Maybe so. I would still like to see all the valves
in any one engine adjusted in as precise, equal manner as possible. The
intention of the tool is to take some of the skill/feel out of adjusting
valves. This I think it does quite well and also in measuring absolute
travel does factor out one significant wear point; rocker arm tip wear. We
use electronically measured dwell to set ignition points for some of the
same reasons.
