What are parallax errors in a scale?

Answer:
When a readng is taken from an analog meter, the pinter must be viewed correctly as it is a short distance away from the scale, so if read from one side, an error of several divisions will occur. To avoid this error the meter should be read from a position directly above the pointer. To help avoid this error most meters have a mirror in the scale so that the error may be dicerned more readily.
