Not many people know how to properly use a vernier caliper anyway!

I found one in my drawer a couple weeks ago and had to do a little head scratching. It'd been about 35 years since I'd last used it. Don't really feel like converting 237/256 of an inch! to decimal when I can use my dial caliper or mic. I seldom use the mic to be honest!
