About This Product
Physics students use the steel rule for kinematics and optics measurements, such as lens-to-screen distances, where a rigid, straight scale is needed. In drafting and engineering workshops it doubles as a straight-edge for marking and alignment. Laboratories and colleges in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, Somalia and Maldives can buy the Meter Rule, Stainless Steel through an export order.
