Caliper scales close-up: 62.35 mm

An example figure from the Length Reading Generator.

A close-up strip of a caliper’s main scale and 0.05 mm sliding scale reading 62.35 mm
The scales alone, without the caliper: the main scale from 6 to 11 cm and the 0.05 mm sliding scale below it, its zero just past 62 mm, and its 7th mark, between the 3 and the 4, lined up with a main-scale mark, so the reading is 62 + 7 × 0.05 = 62.35 mm.

Answer key

  • Reading: main scale 62 mm + sliding scale mark 7 × 0.05 mm = 62.35 mm
