GRADUATED IN THOUSANDTHS OF AN INCH (.001'')
• The reading line on the sleeve (8) is graduated to 0.025". Every fourth
line, which is longer than the others, designates hundred thousandths
(.100''). For example: the line marked "2" represents .200" etc.
• The thimble (5) is divided into 25 equal parts, each line represents
.001" and it is numbered consecutively. To read the micrometer,
observe the indicative lines of tenths of an Inch and the additional lines
(.025") visible on the sleeve, and the number of thousandths indicated
by the line on the thimble. See example:
