2. File:Mm to 1 inch fraction ruler.svg - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mm_to_1_inch_fraction...

   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.

3. Point (typography) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_(typography)

   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]

4. French catheter scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_catheter_scale

   [1] The Charrière is measured by the ''outer'' diameter, and is defined as 1 Fr = 1/3 mm, and thus 1 mm = 3 Fr; therefore the diameter of a round catheter in millimetres can be determined by dividing the French size by 3. [2] The French units roughly correspond to the outer circumference of the catheter (see table below).

5. Millimetre - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millimetre

   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.

6. Measuring rod - Wikipedia

   Excavations at Lothal dating to 2400 BCE have yielded one such ruler calibrated to about 1 ⁄ 16 inch (1.6 mm) [3] Ian Whitelaw (2007) holds that 'The Mohenjo-Daro ruler is divided into units corresponding to 1.32 inches (34 mm) and these are marked out in decimal subdivisions with remarkable accuracy—to within 0.005 inches (0.13 mm).

7. Agate (typography) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agate_(typography)

   An agate or ruby is a unit of typographical measure. It is 5.5 typographical points, or about 1 ⁄ 13 inch (1.94 mm). It can refer either to the height of a line of type or to a font that is 5.5 points. An agate font is commonly used to display statistical data or legal notices in newspapers.

8. Pica (typography) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pica_(typography)

   The pica is a typographic unit of measure corresponding to approximately 1 ⁄ 6 of an inch, or from 1 ⁄ 68 to 1 ⁄ 73 of a foot. One pica is further divided into 12 points. In printing, three pica measures are used: The French pica of 12 Didot points (also called cicero) generally is: 12 × 0.376 = 4.512 mm (0.1776 in).

9. Scale ruler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.
