Examples
On instruments using decimal measure, as shown in the diagram below, the indicating scale would have 10 graduations covering the same length as 9 on the data scale. Note that the vernier's 10th graduation is omitted.
On an instrument providing angular measure, the data scale could be in half-degrees with an indicator scale providing 30 1-minute graduations (spanning 29 of the half-degree graduations).
