 1 Note the number of whole centimetres to Working
the left of the zero on the vernier scale.
Multiply the number by 10. 3 x 10 mm = 30.00 mm

2 Note the number of whole millimetres

Between the figure noted in (1) and 6 mm = 6.00 mm
the zero on the vernier scale.
28 divisions
3 Find the line on the vernier scale that
coincides with the line on the main scale. 28 x 0.02 mm = 0.56 mm
Multiply the number by 0.02.
