Tape measure reading
No response from UK.d-i-y, so I'll try my luck here. :c)
I bought a cheap open reel surveyors type tape measure, but I'm not sure how to use it. Top part has a handle grip section, and at the opposite end is a kind of pointer. Like this: http://bigslickdeals.com/images/cham...apemeasure.jpg One side of the tape measures in feet and inches and zero is at the tape end. Other side measures in metres and cm but zero is about 32cm from the end of the tape. How am I supposed to use this tape meaure. In particular, I cannot fathom how to use the metric side of the tape measure. . Either there is a reason that metres scale starts 32cm from the tape end or it's a production fault. I just don't know.Thanks |
