Scale Rulers

[u3o8geo]

I am having difficulty in finding a current source for 1:22.5 and 1:24 rulers. Does anyone have a suggestion.

Sorry for being a bit off a direct Bachmann topic!

1:24 is 1/2" to the foot. You should be able to find an architectural ruler marked for that at any office supply store. If you don't mind metric, you could print your own for 1:22.5: https://www.blocklayer.com/scale-ruler.aspx

Thanks! I work with USGS topographic maps which include man at 1:24,000 scale. I was just lazy to redo the math.

Your suggestion about the 1:22.5 scale is good!

Ted,

Len is correct. Any good drafting supply store, brirck and mortar or on line, should have both scales readily available. Here is a link to an Engineers Supply house where they have almost any conceivable scale https://www.engineersupply.com/drafting-scales.aspx?sortorder=1&page=1 . Architectural will be notes as 1/2:=1'-0" (1:24), Engineers scales will be calibrated 1:10. 1:20, ect. A Metric scale will have the 1:22.5 scale you are looking for.
