Model Forum / General / Railroads / April 2004Found at Sears
I was browsing through the tool department at Sears the other day when I happened upon something called an "Ultra Rule". This is a flexible metal ruler perforated with holes just large enough to accomodate the tip of a mechanical pencil with a 0.5mm lead (which was thoughtfully included in the package). Because the ruler is stainless steel, a scratch awl could also be used without fear of damage. Either way, it should make it much easier to mark off precise distances. The holes along one edge are spaced every 1/32 inch, and along the other 1/20 inch. I also found a metal protractor with similar holes spaced every 1/2 degree. Both tools are made by General, and can probably be found in other stores as well.

I'm sure this is supposed to be clever somehow, but I'm afraid I don't understand whatever point you're trying to make.

Or maybe it's AZ with a new handle?? Bill Shuey You leave my mate Az alone - some of the best giggles of my on-line life have been from reading his peurile and juvenile posts. :-) RobG > > ????

And you won't Joe. You see, you have matured and juvenile things like this are not funny to you any more. Just mark it down that Mr. Melnick is actually "Master Melnick" as he has not matured to an adult level yet.

And were we to sink to his level we'd more than likely suggest his last name was not Melnick, but rather Bates. SignatureWhat is the sound of one hand typing? Motel Sicks, CA Ya, most mature adaults play with toy trains--Whoooo, whoooo Can I help you?

These rulers are really cool, not that any tool isn't. I think I saw something them this in the Micro Mark catalog. Jim Klein > These rulers are really cool, not that any tool isn't.
