A vernier caliper is a precision measuring instrument that uses a sliding vernier scale alongside a main graduated scale to read dimensions with accuracy beyond the main scale's least division. It comprises a main beam with fixed jaws and a sliding jaw assembly with a vernier scale, plus a depth rod, enabling measurement of external dimensions, internal dimensions, and depth. It persists as a manufactured physical instrument. [formal: caliper vernier | substrate: matter | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition carves: describes the vernier caliper's components (main beam, sliding scale, graduated markings) and how they work together for precision measurement. States persistence (machined metal construction). Has the Law 6 trailer. Good definition.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition correctly carves the vernier caliper: states parameters (sliding vernier scale, main scale) and persistence mechanism (physical instrument). Ends with proper trailer format.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition carves vernier caliper: states the instrument, its mechanism (sliding vernier scale on main graduated scale), and its components (beam, jaws, slider, scale). Persistence via manufacture. Trailer present. Good definition.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Definition carves well: states parameters (precision instrument, sliding vernier scale + main scale) and persistence (physical tool with specific parts). Law 6 trailer present.
