micrometer (caliper)

Translation
micrometer (caliper)
Instrument for making precise linear measurements of dimensions such as diameters, thicknesses, and lengths of solid bodies.

It consists of a C-shaped frame with a movable jaw operated by a screw. The accuracy of the measurements depends on the accuracy of the screw-nut combination.
