What is a caliper used for?
ensuring that surfaces are level |
|
transferring distances between objects |
|
making perfectly vertical lines |

A vernier caliper is an extremely precise caliper (down to \({1 \over 1000}\) inch) that allows measuring / transferring either inside or outside dimensions.
