Vernier caliper - MM Measurement

My good old caliper. The highlighted scale is the Vernier scale, this can be used to interpolate the reading with 1/20th mm precision. If for example the 2-bar of the vernier scale is aligned with one of the bars on the main scale, you have to add 0.2mm.

 

I also have a digital one, but since I rarely make use of a caliper the battery is always empty when I need it. Besides that it's also thicker and heavier than this one, so I still prefer this plain old analog one.

 

Thanks for all your comments and faves, they are really appreciated.

 

Happy Macro Monday!
