Took me half an hour to remember how to use it, (but at least I could). Plus had to dig out a jewellers loupe to help me see the bl***y graduations. (Old aged eyesight)
So first thing tomorrow off to get new battery!!

We take a lot of modern technology for granted these days, wonder how many of the younger generation would even know where to start with an old fashioned vernier?    :doh:
