<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 2712663, member: 33176"]The way that I have always read a Vernier scale is to look where the leftmost zero on the bottom (or Vernier scale) is pointing. This one is pointed between 26 and 27. Now to get the tenth place, see which number of the Vernier (bottom) scale lines up with any number on the scale above it...this seems to be that the Vernier 6 is aligned with a 5 on the scale above it. Thus I would read it as 26.6 mm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
