 Reading the Multi-scale

1 　　　 Read the “0” position of the 1st vernier on the regular scale. In
Fig. 1, the “0” position is located between the 41-mm and 42-mm
scale divisions.
2 　　　 Find out where the scale of the 1st vernier coincides with that of
the regular scale. In Fig. 1, the scale of the 1st vernier coincides
with a division between the 4- and 6- divisions of the regular scale.
Then, it can be seen that a division between the 41-mm and 42-mm
divisions is 0.5.

3 　　 Consequently, the measured value is 41 + 0.5 = 41.5 mm
