Are you just guessing the 0.014 because the line is halfway between the marks?

If you look at the lowest scale (0-25), the "14" tick mark looks like it lines up the closest to the full (1:1) scale lines. Doesn't matter what line on the 1:1, you read the thousandths column (lowest scale, 0-25).
Of course, in person, another line may line up closer, but from the picture it looks like the "14" tick mark.
*Remember: I tell my guys here at work "never trust calipers as far as you can throw them" lol, I can really wing a caliper, ask me...they are a reference tool only. To get a more accurate number, a quality depth micrometer would be best for that check.
