Received as a gift est. 35 years ago from an employee of Crown Albums (no longer in bus.) It is a very heavy metal, with 3 sides, 2 showing different measurement lengths, and 1 is advertising Crown Albums. Is there a
specific use for this type ruler, or just a unique design? Thank you for
help. Joan
They made picture albums. If they made anything else, not sure. Thomas, thanks for checking on it. It may just be a unique, decorative item with no intended use. It's heavy and never rusts, so maybe paperweight? Joan
Architect / engineering ruler.
I'm impressed. How did you figure it out. I checked a while back re architecture and never found anything. Joan
Just found on Wikipedia thanks to you. J
architectural triangular scale for reading various scaled drawings.
Jobogi, I already knew but just to confirm it, I goggled "3 sided rulers". LOL !!
My engineer father used one of these too!
Thanks to all of you. It's a nice feeling knowing what something is. Joan
