Dear Henry, > I must apologize for not having viewed > the vernier picture properly. It is indeed a very strange vernier, and it took me some time to understand it. The peculiar feature (from my point of view) is that vernier divisions are much bigger than the main arc divisions. On all verniers I've seen before, those are approximately equal. (Not exactly equal, of course, but of the same order of magnitude).
