Abstract: In Chermak and Delgado's paper ``A measuring argument for finite groups'', a certain ``measuring lemma'' was shown to hold. This lemma has been successfully applied in many recent papers. We generalize this lemma by expanding the discussion from groups acting on groups to groups acting on sets. As applications, we obtain the main results of several earlier papers.
