  Vernier scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was invented in its modern form in 1631 by the French mathematician Pierre Vernier (1580-1637).
Verniers are common on sextants, machinists' measuring tools (all sorts, but especially calipers and micrometers) and on theodolites.
The indicating scale ("vernier" in the diagram) is used to provide an even finer additional level of precision without resorting to estimation.

 Current / Fact-Sheet / Nuclear Terrorism: How Serious a Threat to Switzerland?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Switzerland, apart from Germany, is the only country where safety criteria against airplane crashes exist, but against crashes as an accident and not as deliberate attacks like the one of 11 September!
If everything went wrong, that means if as a result of unfortunate circumstances all safety measures and barriers failed, a terrorist attack like the one described could, in the worst case, lead to a release of radioactivity into the environment.
These aims again must be put into relation to different features of the "Swiss structure", such as the special situation with respect to the geography of Switzerland, its politics and security policy, its highly developed and accordingly vulnerable infrastructure and not least to the high concentration of international organizations in the region of Geneva.
