Best Answer

We need two readings. One is Main scale reading and the other is vernier scale reading.

Main scale reading will be read on the main scale.

We need an indicator to read it. Right?

The marking ie zero of the vernier is that indicator. So the reading on the main scale which has been just crossed by zero of the vernier is taken as Main scale reading.

Now to get VSR, we need vernier scale coincidence. How do we get this?

Any one of the divisions of the vernier will be found coincided with some divisions marked on the main scale. We don't worry about that main scale division but we concentrate only on the vernier scale division. This is VSC

This VSC is to be multiplied by least count. So VSC x LC gives the VSR

Now MSR + VSR gives the accurate reading.

Vernier calipers is more convenient to use compared to the external and internal calipers because vernier caliper by its own could be used as external and internal calipers.
