true position
true position
(OP)
good morning, every one!
I went to a job interview last Friday, They gave me a micrometer and a regular solid tube and they asked me to measured the true position. I told them I was not prepare for something like that and Of course I was not consider for the position.
Can some one explained me how to calculate a true position on a situation like that.

This sound like a 'twicky qwestion' that is best discussed in the Drafting Standards, GD&T & Tolerance Analysis forum http://www.eng-tips.com/threadminder.cfm?pid=1103

Or, "No, I don't know how to do that, could you show me the answer please?" And then find fault with their approach.
Trick questions in interviews are a lousy idea.

A favorite trick of HR types yeas ago, was to hand an applicant a micrometer that did not zero, and ask them for the exact dimension of a measured object.
It would also appear that English is not the first language of the OP.
