Remembering back to technical college days and the coefficient of thermal expansion, the difference you would get measuring the same large article on a cold december morning and a hot july afternoon would be considerable. But then again verniers are only supposed to be ball park compared to micrometers.

A beaut, struggling to think what i would use it for!

Vernier is a scale on a calliper

I'd like one or two, just to fill the gap above the 150mm. I suppose that'd fill from 150mm up to anything and everything!

Slightly more than pocket money though

I have seen one for real.

Vernier is a scale on a calliper

And a micrometer

I contemplated buying that a couple of months back. Ended up getting a 1500mm digital instead.
That thing must weight 25kgs.

Out of need or desire Matt?

Need, building the frame for my next cnc. It would allow me to size all the box section correctly.

You'd need a decent top pocket to keep that in!

Or a whopper of a toolbox.

Jeez, I wouldn't fancy building the slip piles you'd need to calibrate that across its span...!
