Aluminum Architect Scale Ruler 30cm Laser Etched Triangle Drafting with Colour Coded Grooves for Blueprint, Architectural (Red, Metric Units)

For the Course and for the Job - built for architecture, engineering and interior design students kitting out for a new term, and for the architects, engineers, surveyors and draughtsmen who reach for a scale rule every working day. A sensible thing for a parent to buy a first year, for a practice to hand a new starter, or a gift for anyone starting a design or construction course Read an Architectural Drawing in Seconds - lay the edge on the line, pick the matching ratio and read the true dimension straight off. No arithmetic, no conversion tables, no second-guessing. Scale off a floor plan at your desk, check a site plan out on site, or work up coursework in the studio 12 Ratios, Each with a Job - 1:1 and 1:2 for details, 1:5, 1:10 and 1:20 for joinery and room layouts, 1:50 and 1:100 for plans and elevations, 1:200 and 1:500 for site layouts, and 1:1000, 1:1250 and 1:2500 for Ordnance Survey location maps and planning applications Machined from One Solid Block, Laser-Etched Not Printed - the anodised three-sided body has real weight in the hand and sits flat without rocking. Colour-coded grooves are cut into the metal rather than printed on it, so they will not rub off, smudge or fade with use, and the chamfered edges stay kind to your fingers. Measure once, read it right, and still be using the same rule in your final year Slides into the Rest of Your Kit - sits alongside a set square, protractor, compass set, technical pens and fineliners, and the supplied soft cloth pouch lets it travel in a pencil case or portfolio without scuffing your tracing paper or graph paper. A natural pairing with a drawing board
