    Saw this being done online and thought i might chuck it up. It takes the strain of the eyes trying to look at thoose fine graduations. Not sure if photos worked.

    That is certainly the hi tech option. I have rigged a small shaving mirror at an angle. It magnifies the image and I just have to glance down don’t have to bend down and squint. It works well. But obviously this works too.

    You could improve the view by gluing part of a needle or pin to the bar.Makes it quicker to align
    and more accurate.
