On the scriber is placed the zero mark which shows at a glance the measurement that is being taken. |

Chewing the scriber and needling his brain, he slowly built up a list of other possibilities. |
The scriber point engraves the fluctuating pressure onto the reverse side of the waxed indicating paper roll. |
