1. How to read

Example 1 A: 32 B: 0.54 ---------- C: 32.54mm
Example 2 A: 2.05 (2" + 2 X 1/40") B: 0.012 ------------ C: 2.062<0094>

A is the line of the main scale which is on the left of the zero line of the Vernier scale.
B is the line of the Vernier scale which coincides with a line of the main scale.
