I think this is meant to be "Vernier Caliper". It is an instrument used to measure objects to limits to fine to read by rule. It consists of two parts.
'
1) A metal bar engraved as a rule, with a blade at right angles to one end, so 'L-'-shaped, and
'
2) A block with a similar blade, sliding on the fixed (Part 1), so forming a pair of adjustable jaws brought into contact with the item to be measured.
On the slide is another scale, and this is the Vernier part: if it does not have this, the instrument is a caliper but not a Vernier Caliper. This Vernier scale is engraved in such a way that it has a compounding effect on the adjacent fixed rule, so magnifying the measurements to a readable equivalent.
'
The inch-series vernier can read to 1/1000", the metric version to (I think), 0.01mm. I stand to be corrected on that last because I have a metric caliper but it is digital, not vernier!
