I don't understand
Tim W
and the photo shows a normal ruler with scales of 32 and 20 increments to the inches on the two edges.
When I was at school there was eight eigths to an inch not ten?
Sir, first of all, it is a rule not a ruler. A 24" ruler would be smaller than a midget and be the boss of his own country. Second, they're not 8ths, but 10ths. Plenty of disciplines use tenths as a measurment.
rNo, there's 10 tenths to the inch. I carry one daily graduated in 100ths.
A 24" ruler would rule with both feet and never put a foot wrong, right?
True. What has that got to do with a 10ths scale?
oops! they're 10th's on the top and eight's on the bottom. :-)
/me runs away,sharpish like.
Premature extrapolation?
Sir one can use ruler or rule in this context as the object has been shown to be an item of measurment.
Rule is formal. Ruler would be okay in that language they speak along the river Cam, Sir. Maybe I have this confused with a 12 inch pianist?
rBut can you read all those little lines? :)
Yes, I also carry a jewlers loop.
Ah, but that isn't the important question. Why is it daily graduated? Do the graduations disappear at midnight?

is that a loop or loupe?
That is loupey
You just have to magnify the littlest detail don't you?
