🔍 Key Concepts

• Main (sleeve) scale reading on a vernier micrometer in thousandths of an inch • Thimble scale reading in thousandths added to the sleeve reading • Vernier scale on the sleeve that gives the extra ten‑thousandth (0.0001 in) by the line that best aligns with a thimble line

💭 Think About

• First, how many hundredths and thousandths of an inch are clearly visible to the left of the thimble edge on the sleeve for figure F? • Next, which numbered line on the thimble scale exactly lines up with the horizontal reference line on the sleeve? • Finally, which vernier line on the sleeve lines up best with a thimble graduation, and what ten‑thousandth value does that add?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you correctly identify the last fully visible division on the sleeve before the thimble edge, not the one partly covered. • Confirm that each thimble graduation equals 0.001 inch and that the vernier is adding 0.0001 inch, not 0.001. • After adding sleeve + thimble + vernier readings, check that your total matches the pattern of the choices: 0.xxx3 inch.
