Original nominal 25 mm figure scale; though a 6-foot human in 1:87 is closer to 21 mm. 1:82: 3.717 mm An intermediate scale (HO/OO) intended to apply to both HO and OO scale train sets. Also used for some military models 1:80: 3.810 mm HOj scale. Very close to wargaming 20 mm figure scale (20 mm is actually 1:80.5). [10] 1:76.2: 4 mm: Model ...
English: a ruler from 0 to 1 inch (in.) in 1/32 inch divisions below the line and 1/2 millimetre (mm) divisions above the line to give a visual representation of the approximations. Principally designed to help visually determine if a metric or imperial drill bit will suffice.
A scale ruler is a tool for measuring lengths and transferring measurements at a fixed ratio of length; two common examples are an architect's scale and engineer's scale.In scientific and engineering terminology, a device to measure linear distance and create proportional linear measurements is called a scale.
P4/S4 or 4 mm: 1:76.2: 18.83 mm (0.741 in) Uses a track gauge of 18.83 mm which represents an exact scaling down of the prototype at 4 mm to 1 ft scale. P4 contains an allowance for the tighter curves found on model railways in the wheel back-to-back and related dimensions.
Another popular scale is 1/72 or 1 inch equals 6 foot which uses 20 mm, to 25 mm miniatures. It is mostly used for historical gaming in part due to a wide selection of 1/72 scale models. Figures are commonly used with a variety of scales. It is not uncommon for there to be a mismatch between the game scale and miniature size.
Ridable, outdoor gauge, named according to the gauge in inches, and scale in inches per foot, for example 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (184 mm) gauge, 1.5 inch scale. The gauge is 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (190.5 mm) in the US and Canada, where the scale sometimes is 1.6 inch for diesel-type models. Private and public (club) tracks exist in many areas.
In the late 13th century, the modern foot of 304.8 mm was introduced, equal to exactly 10 ⁄ 11 Anglo-Saxon foot. Cubit: 457.2 mm: From fingertips to elbow, 18 inches. Yard: 0.914 m: 3 feet = 36 inches, the practical base unit, defined as the length of the prototype bar held by the Crown or Exchequer. Ell: 1.143 m
The Fournier scale: two inches in total, divided into four half-inches, the medium intervals are one line (1 ⁄ 12 inch), and the smallest intervals are 1 ⁄ 36 inch; no intervals for the point is given, though. Fournier printed a reference scale of 144 points over two inches; however, it was too rough to accurately measure a single point. [11]
