A caliper jaw closes on a small ball and its vernier slides along; when it stops, one vernier tick lines up with the main scale and lights. The jaw backs off and the ball springs to a new size.
Also known as: caliper animation css, measuring loader, vernier scale animation, precision measurement loader.
