vernier calliper is a measuring tool. Vernier calliper (British spelling also calliper, or
in plurale tantum sense a pair of calipers) is a device . A caliper can
be as simple as a compass with inward or outward-facing points. The tips of the
caliper are adjusted to fit across the points to be measured, the caliper is
then removed and the distance read by measuring between the tips with a
measuring tool, such as a ruler.
