Vernier - Vernier (English spelling)

Japanese: バーニヤ - ばーにや(英語表記)vernier
Vernier - Vernier (English spelling)

A device used to accurately read fractions of a division on a main scale, also known as a vernier scale. It was invented in 1631 by the French vernier Pierre Vernier (1580-1637), but its theory is said to have already been established by the German Clavius ​​in 1611. To use it, as shown in the figure , first read the largest division on the main scale, 73, to the left of the 0 on the vernier scale. Next, read the value 4 (8th division) on the vernier scale where the main scale division and the vernier scale coincide. In this case, if the minimum reading is 0.05 mm, the final reading is 73 + 0.05 x 8 = 73.4 mm. Therefore, scale reading = (main scale reading) + (minimum reading) x (number of divisions from zero on the vernier scale where the main scale and vernier scale coincide).

Japanese:

本尺の1目盛りの端数を正確に読み取るための装置で、副尺ともいう。1631年にフランスのバーニヤPierre Vernier(1580―1637)により発明されたが、その理論は、すでに1611年にドイツのクラビウスによってたてられていたといわれる。使い方は、に示すように、まず副尺目盛りの0の左にある本尺上の最大目盛り73を読み取る。次に本尺目盛りとバーニヤ目盛りが一致しているバーニヤ目盛りの値4(8目盛り目)を読み取る。ここでは最小読み取り値を0.05ミリメートルとすると、73+0.05×8=73.4mmが最終の読み取り値となる。したがって、目盛りの読み=(本尺の読み)+(最小読み取り値)×(本尺とバーニヤ目盛りの一致したバーニヤ目盛りのゼロからの目盛り数)である。
