V-0 index is between 0.68 and and 0.80 beam, match is 7th V-line to the 6th 0.25 beam = 0.75?
0.68" beam + 0.07 Vscale = 0.75"

Is that correct?

I don't *think* so... ya got me confused... I think....

OK. so the marks on the vernier are thousandths- that is the third
decimal place (.001) rather than hundredths, which is what it looks
like you're calling them above. so if the beam reading is .68 and the
vernier reading is 7 you'd get .687.

train yourself to ignore which line on the beam it is that the line on
the vernier lines up with (other than the vernier 0, of course).

at 0.75, the V0 will exactly line up with the beam 0.75.
