Sometime in the past year there was a discusion about some 7" long plastic rulers that read in metric or imperial depending on which way you tilt the display. There is also a decimal equivalent chart in the center of the ruler. They were cheap and I thought they would be a fun holiday gift for some of my woodworker friends, so I bought half dozen. Now it's time to give them out, but I can't remember what the actual name of these are. Kind of dumb to gift them without knowing what they are. Anybody? Thanks, Bob |

Amazon carries different versions of them such as: https://www.amazon.com/Lenticular-Conversion-RUFD-006-Fractional-Decimal/dp/B0057XV87Y/ref=sr_1_17?dchild=1&keywords=lenticular+ruler&qid=1608421622&sr=8-17 I have one that is fractional/decimal/metric and another that's fractional/decimal in finer increments. They live on my bench. |
