In a Vernier calipers, when both jaws touch each other, zero of the Vernier scale is shifted to the right of zero of the main scale and $\displaystyle 7^{\text {th }}$ Vernier division coincides with a main scale reading. If the value of $\displaystyle 1$ main scale division is $\displaystyle 1$ mm and there are $\displaystyle 10$ Vernier scale divisions, then the Vernier caliper has
