- Digital calipers (it's spelt with a P! Guns have calibers!) have a linear encoder of some sort. I think -- though i've never taken one all the way apart -- that they're using a variable capacitance.

- Exactly right. Some of them have relative encoders, but some have absolute encoding, too... and some are using inductance rather than capacitance. http://www.mitutoyo.co.jp/eng/products/sokuchouunit

- The digital calipers I have (The HF Classic) have an interesting characteristic: The power switch does not actually turn it off. If you turn it off, move the jaws, and turn it back on again, it reads

- About those little batteries (LR44?) that the calipers and many other Chinese things use: You can buy one for $2 at the supermarket or hardware store, or you can buy 10 for $1 at a dollar store. Doug

- All of mine do that, too. Thinking about it, I don't think I've ever changed a battery in any of these things. My miymotuo ones are 5 or six 6 years old. The circuitry takes an amazingly small amount

- And with any luck they will last 1/20 as long as the $2 ones. After going through most of a pack of 10 in less than a year, I threw the rest away. Randall ___________________________________________
