If you try and measure the distance between twelve links on a steel rule you will probably be off the scale.
Oh, I dunno....heres one I got out of a skip.....
that's the rule, not the bike.......
I wonder what specific purpose the rule was made for.....its 75cm long, 29 1/2 inches, calibrated in millimetres and sixteenths of an inch, its stainless (marked "rustless"....?) and apparently " standard at 68deg F."
I haven't really got a use for it, but it seemed an act of vandalism to skip it....its quite decorative, in an industrial sort of way....
