Those calipers really suck the big donkey, if I may say so.

Quite simple really... Set your caliper to the diameter of the marble like shown in the photo... Then take a tape measure or ruler and measure how wide the opening is on the caliper... Works well for me... Rolling Eyes

THANK YOU ALL for taking the time to help me on this! I think I've got it now.

.................and as soon as I can afford another electronic set of calipers, this thing is getting tossed. Laughing
