A thousandth of an inch is a derived unit of length in a system of units using inches. Equal to 1 ⁄ 1000 of an inch, a thousandth is commonly called a thou / ˈ θ aʊ / (used for both singular and plural) or, particularly in North America, a mil (plural mils). The words are shortened forms of the English and Latin words for "thousand" (mille ...
Thousandth of an inch, an inch-based unit often called a thou or a mil. Circular mil, a unit of area, equal to the area of a circle with a diameter of one thousandth of an inch. Square mil, a unit of area, equal to the area of a square with sides of length of one thousandth of an inch.
Thus, the reading is given by the number of whole divisions that are visible on the scale of the sleeve, multiplied by 25 (the number of thousandths of an inch that each division represents), plus the number of that division on the thimble which coincides with the axial zero line on the sleeve. The result will be the diameter expressed in ...
A scale factor of 1 ⁄ 10 cannot be used here, because scaling 160 by 1 ⁄ 10 gives 16, which is greater than the greatest value that can be stored in this fixed-point format. However, 1 ⁄ 11 will work as a scale factor, because the maximum scaled value, 160 ⁄ 11 = 14. 54, fits within this range. Given this set:

Such a scaling changes the diameter of an object by a factor between the scale factors, the area by a factor between the smallest and the largest product of two scale factors, and the volume by the product of all three. The scaling is uniform if and only if the scaling factors are equal (v x = v y = v z). If all except one of the scale factors ...
In this instrument, a small, precise rack and pinion drives a pointer on a circular dial, allowing direct reading without the need to read a vernier scale. Typically, the pointer rotates once every inch, tenth of an inch, or 1 millimeter. This measurement must be added to the coarse whole inches or centimeters read from the slide.
The only thing I *might* consider is moving the page to thousandth of an inch, but it's unwieldy. Wizard191 14:33, 11 March 2010 (UTC) I agree with moving it to thousandth of an inch, that is a better solution that encompasses both short forms, "mil" (milli-inch) and "thou". The abbreviated forms should not take precedence over the full form.
