No. 1407 SCALO-
METER POCKET
RULE (ivory cel-
luloid, 6J4 inches
long) for measuring DIS-
TANCES, HEIGHTS,
WIDTHS, LENGTHS and
ANGLES. Every Boy Scout
needs a pocket rule as much
as a knife. In many respects
this rule is more important than the knife as it
combines four of the most important (fundamental)
scales of measurement. The design was developed
after a careful study of Boy Scout work to meet
their requirements'. _ A special scale (NEW) is pro-
_ vided for ^measuring DISTANCES as well as
HEIGHTS and WIDTHS of near or far objects. This is particularly useful to Scouts for train-
ing the eye and quickly determining DISTANCES; also for telling the HEIGHTS of trees,
buildings, etc. There are two protractors for measuring ANGLES, which are especially useful
in map-making. For measuring lengths as well as aor comparison, two scales' are provided, one
6 inches by l/16th, and t-he other 15 centimeters by_ millimeters. The centimeter scale is useful
for plotting, being divided into tenths. Circular of directions included. Postpaid 50c
