  2. Scale ruler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_ruler

    An architect's scale is a specialized ruler designed to facilitate the drafting and measuring of architectural drawings, such as floor plans and Multi-view orthographic projections. Because the scale of such drawings is often smaller than life-size, an architect's scale features multiple units of length and proportional length increments. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre-stick

    The metre-stick is usually employed for work on a medium scale; larger than desktop work on paper, yet smaller than large-scale infrastructure work, where tape measures or longer measuring rods are used. Typical applications of metre-sticks are for building furniture, vehicles and houses. Modern carpenters' metre-sticks are usually made to be ...

    Thus the scale and approximate prototype gauge are represented, with the model gauge used (9 mm for H0e gauge; 6.5 mm for H0f gauge) being implied. [ 2 ] The scales used include the general European modelling range of Z, N, TT, H0, 0 and also the large model engineering gauges of I to X, including 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 , 5, 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 and 10 + 1 ⁄ 4 ...

    Different lengths as in respect to the electromagnetic spectrum, measured by the metre and its derived scales.The microwave is between 1 meter to 1 millimeter.. The millimetre (international spelling; SI unit symbol mm) or millimeter (American spelling) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one thousandth of a metre, which is the SI base unit of length.

  8. Graduation (scale) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduation_(scale)

    A ruler with two linear scales: the metric and imperial.It includes shorter minor graduations and longer major graduations. A graduation is a marking used to indicate points on a visual scale, which can be present on a container, a measuring device, or the axes of a line plot, usually one of many along a line or curve, each in the form of short line segments perpendicular to the line or curve.

    The next largest scale range, G scale (1:22.5) in the US and 16 mm scale (1:19.05) in the UK, and as large as 1:12 scale, is too small for riding but is used for outdoor garden railways, which allow use of natural landscaping. G scale is also sometimes used indoors, with the track mounted adjacent to walls at eye level of standing adults.
