doesn't zero and read 1 point high on the test strip

The Webster B reads 1 point high on the test strip instead of zero because the load spring adjustment is not correct. The dial indicator must be zeroed correctly, and if the reading does not match the number stamped on the standard sample, a slight adjustment of the load spring is required until the readings agree.
