Solution
Zero error: If the zero of the main scale does not coincide with zero of circular scale on bringing the screw end in contact with the stud, the screw gauge is said to have zero error.

How can the least count of a screw gauge be decreased?
A micrometre screw gauge has a positive zero error of 7 divisions, such that its main scale is marked in 1/2 mm and the circular scale has 100 divisions. The spindle of the screw advances by 1 division complete rotation.
If this screw gauge reading is 9 divisions on the main scale and 67 divisions on the circular scale for the diameter of a thin wire, calculate
