    In using a vernier caliper tenths of a division are not esti-mated; they are read off the vernier scale. Notice that 10 divi-sions on the vernier scale corre-sponds to 9 divisions on the main scale. Therefore, the mark on the vernier scale which best lines up with a mark on the main scale gives the reading of a tenth of
