Jim,

I don't agree. The longer the lever, the less of a reading you will see
for the same deflection. The indicator is actually calibrated for angular
displacement. A shorter lever will give a larger angular diplacement for
the same tip deflection.

An additional oops here, to add to the other one I posted.
Of course the rule of simple levers says you are correct.
My only possible defence is that I was operating with
a scrambled head from spending saturday at work....

Jim
