ABSTRACT:
A measuring device, such as a ruler, tape measure, etc. includes a first edge having a first set of indicia corresponding to a first linear scale, and a second edge having a second set of indicia corresponding to a second linear scale. The first linear scale may be actual, while the second linear scale may be non-actual, such as a linear scale employed on an engineering or architectural drawing. The indicia of the second linear scale are spaced apart and labeled with numerical values that correspond to the scaled distance between the indicia, and therefore provide an indication of the actual length of an object upon measurement of the length of a corresponding feature on a drawing drawn to scale.
