  2. Fowler Calculators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fowler_Calculators

    Following the patent and release of Harold's Long Scale calculator featuring two knobs on the outside rim in 1914, he designed the Magnum Long Scale calculator in 1927. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] As the name "Magnum" implies, it was a fairly large device at 4.5 inches in diameter—about 1.5 inches more than Fowler's average non-Magnum-series calculators. [ 8 ]

    1:12: 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 in (121 mm) North America specific scale corresponding to NMRA 1-inch scale. 1:12 is one of the most popular backyard railway scales. -1:11: 5 in (127 mm) Used outside North America. Corresponds to NEM V. One of the most popular garden railway scales. Common gauge for live steam-1:8: 7 + 14 in (184 mm)

    The second, outer, cylinder is printed with the slide rule's primary logarithmic scale in the form of a 50-turn helix 12.70 metres; 500 inches (41 ft 8 in) long with annotations on the scale going from 100 to 1000. A brass tube with a mahogany cap at the top is a slide fit into the first cylinder. [1] [2] [3] [4]

    ZZ scale: 1:300: 4.8 mm Introduced by Bandai, ZZ scale was very briefly the smallest commercially available model railway available. As of 2005 only three Shinkansen trains are available and limited other items. The trains are battery-powered and run on plastic rail. Bandai makes no accessories for this scale. T scale: 1:450 1:480: 3 mm

    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 + 14 and 10 + 14 ...

    The rather uncommon [citation needed] 40 mm figure scale wargames figures fit approximately into this scale. 1:45: 6.773 mm This is the scale which MOROP has defined for O scale, because it is half the size of the 1:22.5 Scale G-gauge model railways made by German manufacturers. [citation needed] 1:43.5: 7.02 mm: Model railways (0)

  8. Scale model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_model

    Models are built to scale, defined as the ratio of any linear dimension of the model to the equivalent dimension on the full-size subject (called the "prototype"), expressed either as a ratio with a colon (ex. 1:8 scale), or as a fraction with a slash (1/8 scale). This designates that 1 inch (or centimeter) on the model represents 8 such units ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_model_kit

    Unassembled parts of a Hasegawa 1/72 F/A-18E kit. The frame surrounding the various parts is called the injection moulding "runner" or "sprue" The first plastic models were injection molded in cellulose acetate (e.g. Frog Penguin and Varney Trains), but currently most plastic models are injection-molded in polystyrene, and the parts are bonded together, usually with a plastic solvent-based ...
