I think I have come across that before, in relation to precision measurement.

Have not read it though, so thanks, bentlegs, for the recommendation. Will certainly give it a read if I can pick up a copy for a fair price.

Whilst on this topic: I once had an old fashioned thimble-screw micrometer.



But it seems to have walked.

For less than a tenner, I had also picked up a digital micrometer from ALDI



I am long time retired, but do like much to tinker wih stuff. However, it is only around once or twice a year when I need to measure summut with such accuracy.

So, I dig out the device. reads both inch and metric, will have no need for converting....
Everything ready to go....
and....
The battery is drained!

No measurement until I can get replacement.

New/digital not always superior!
