ABSTRACT:
A pair of vernier calipers includes a shaft. A vernier is slidable along the shaft. A protractor has a base coupled to the vernier. A follower is pivotally coupled on the base. A spring is biased between the follower and the base so as to bias the follower to rotate in one direction relative to the base. A graduation is provided on the follower. A mark is provided on the base. When the vernier is pushed toward an object, the follower is caused to rotate so that a relative movement between the mark and the graduation indicates an angular dimension of the object.
