  2. Dialing scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialing_scales

    A right-angle is drawn on the dial-face and the latitude scale is laid against the x-axis. The target latitude point is marked across on to the dial face. The hour scale is placed from this point to the noon line (conventionally, the zero point is on the noon line).

  3. Vernier scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernier_scale

    Vernier caliper scales; main at top, vernier at bottom. It reads 3.58 ± 0.02 mm by adding 3.00 mm (left red mark) on the fixed main scale to vernier 0.58 mm (right red mark). The main scale reading is that to the left of the zero on the vernier scale. The vernier reading is found by locating the best aligned lines between the two scales.

  4. Dial (measurement) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dial_(measurement)

    Examples of dial usage: Pressure and vacuum gauges, Level gauges, Volt and current meters, Thermometers and thermostats (mechanical), Speedometers and tachometers. Mirror dials are designed to reduce or eliminate the effect of parallax. They usually consist of a small mirrored strip running parallel to the graduations of the scale under the ...

  5. Calipers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calipers

    Instead of using a vernier mechanism, which requires some practice to use, the dial caliper reads the final fraction of a millimeter or inch on a simple dial. 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 ...

  6. Schema for horizontal dials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schema_for_horizontal_dials

    The dial plate is constructed with compasses taking it sizes from the triangle. The hour lines 12, 3, and 6 are known. The hour lines 1 and 2 are taken from the side of the square. A diagonal is taken from 12 to 6, and lines parallel to this drawn through 1 and 2, giving 5 and 4; The morning dial is a reflection of this.

  7. Indicator (distance amplifying instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_(distance...

    0.01–20 mm dial indicator. Probe indicators typically consist of a graduated dial and needle driven by a clockwork (thus the clock terminology) to record the minor increments, with a smaller embedded clock face and needle to record the number of needle rotations on the main dial. The dial has fine gradations for precise measurement.

  8. Circle of fifths - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths

    [17] The usual practice is to derive the circle of fifths progression from the seven tones of the diatonic scale, rather from the full range of twelve tones present in the chromatic scale. In this diatonic version of the circle, one of the fifths is not a true fifth: it is a tritone (or a diminished fifth), e.g. between F and B in the "natural ...

  9. List of musical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_symbols

    Musical symbols are marks and symbols in musical notation that indicate various aspects of how a piece of music is to be performed. There are symbols to communicate information about many musical elements, including pitch, duration, dynamics, or articulation of musical notes; tempo, metre, form (e.g., whether sections are repeated), and details about specific playing techniques (e.g., which ...
