<p>[QUOTE="Dean Anderson, post: 399900, member: 8327"]The folded measure is simply called a rule, and they make inside read and outside read rules. Has to do with what side of the rule the numbers start on. As an electrician, we use inside read rules, because you don't have to fully expand it to lay it flat on the ground. Just some of the useless trivia in my head, wish I knew more about antiques![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
