2. Scale ruler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_ruler

   Scale ruler. 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.

3. Cubit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubit

   The common cubit was divided into 6 palms × 4 fingers = 24 digits. [2] Royal cubits added a palm for 7 palms × 4 fingers = 28 digits. [3] These lengths typically ranged from 44.4 to 52.92 cm (1 ft 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 in to 1 ft 8 + 13 ⁄ 16 in), with an ancient Roman cubit being as long as 120 cm (3 ft 11 in).

4. Inch - Wikipedia

   1 / 36 ⁠ yd or ⁠ 1 / 12 ⁠ ft. Metric (SI) units. 25.4 mm. A fire hydrant marked as 3-inch. The inch (symbol: in or ″) is a unit of length in the British Imperial and the United States customary systems of measurement. It is equal to ⁠ 1 36 ⁠ yard or ⁠ 1 12 ⁠ of a foot. Derived from the Roman uncia ("twelfth"), the word inch is ...

5. Scale length (string instruments) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_length_(string...

   For example, a 7/8 violin has a scale of about 317 mm, a 3/4-size instrument a scale of 307 mm, a half-size one 287 mm, and a quarter-size one 267 mm. 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32 and even 1/64 violins also exist, becoming progressively smaller, but again in no proportional relationship. (A full-size instrument is described as 4/4.)

6. 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.

7. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

   The centimetre (SI symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10−2 metres (⁠ 1 100 ⁠ m = 0.01 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −2 m and 10 −1 m (1 cm and 1 dm). 1 cm – 10 millimetres. 1 cm – 0.39 inches. 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2.
