The scriber should preferably be of more depth than jaw
                         
                    
                    
                                                                                
                            
                                
                            
                            
                                
                            
                            
                                
                            
                            The perpendicular distance between scale graduations and vernier graduations should be more than 0.01mm 
                         
                    
                    
                                                                                
                            
                                
                            
                            
                                
                            
                            
                                
                            
                            The base is tapped up to an accuracy of 0.05mm
                         
                    
                    
                                                                                
                            
                                
                            
                            
                                
                            
                            
                                
                            
                            Width of interval between adjacent lines should be 1/2 or 1/3 times of the length of shortest graduations
