Why would you need a vernier to get measurements to a resolution of 1mm? Any fool with one working eye and a ruler could get that close... The whole point of the vernier scale (where 10 equal marks are squeezed into - usually - 9mm) is that you can measure things using the callipers to a resolution of 0.1mm
Note for any budding metrologists out there, resolution is not the same as accuracy - to be accurate, you'd need a calibrated tool and be using the correct mensuration technique.

He was full of crap :roll:
