ABSTRACT:
A multi-functional measuring device made of lightweight material planed on one edge in a succession of ascending steps representing dimensional increments. Successive steps ascend over one-half the length of the device and, at the mid-point, level off and begin to descend in dimensional increments for the remaining length, providing a visual image and tactile profile for the user. Centerline notches are cut on both the upper and lower edges, and are used to locate the center point of an object High and low profiles are cut into specific locations to allow for visual and tactile determination of specific subdivision dimensions. A notch is provided at each end of the device to accommodate linear measurements exceeding the length of the device. The lower face surface is punctuated with a series of holes. Small diameter holes, marking dimensional increments, are arranged in a straight line parallel to the lower edge, opposite the ascending and descending steps. Large diameter holes, marking additional dimensions, are arranged in an alternating pattern with the small diameter holes.
