About nonius
Nonius is a measuring tool used in navigation and astronomy named in honour of its inventor, Pedro Nunes, a Portuguese author, mathematician and navigator. The nonius was created in 1542 as a system for taking finer measurements on circular instruments such as the astrolabe. The system was eventually adapted into the Vernier scale in 1631 by the French mathematician Pierre Vernier.
