Police officers are getting a lot of attention in the media in recent months. But you know who usually falls by the wayside? Security officers. Today is Security Officer Appreciation Week- a week for these people to shine.
How can we thank them this week?
The burning questions is “Why does it matter”. If you ask an architect, he or she will tell you that an architect scale ruler is vital to their daily business. They would not be able to function without these rulers.
What is an architect scale ruler? It is a special ruler that is marked in special scales that correspond to the scale of the drawing. If the drawing is done in 1″ = 1 foot, then each inch on the correct scale will represent one foot in the drawing. If the drawing is done in 1/4″ = 1 foot, then each quarter inch on the 1/4 scale corresponds to 1 foot in the drawing. On this particular scale, each 1/4 inch is marked 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc. So that the “4 marking number” is one inch from the zero mark. Simple, so far. But each of these rulers has several scales, so you don’t have to have multiple rulers in your pocket. Other scales can be 1/8, 1/16, 1/3, 3/16 and so forth. The trick of this business is to be able to choose the correct scale for each drawing you are working on. If you are reading a highway map which is drawn to 1/4″ = 1 mile, you would use the 1/4 scale. If you are with me up to this point, you could become an architect!
This month of September contains many American holidays that the average person doesn’t even hear about. Sure, this week we celebrated Labor Day, but did you know that Uncle Sam Day is on Sunday the 13th, and the birthday of the Air Force is next Friday the 18th? In fact, the entire month of September is also dubbed Americana Month.
What better way to celebrate at your office than to pass out promotional Maglites with the American flag printed on them?
If you or your boss are looking for the best engraved flashlights for your company promotion, Here are the top 7 features to look for.
The true meaning of Labor Day is usually overlooked. Too often this holiday is seen as the last weekend of summer: a time for BBQ’s, picnics, boating, or one last beach vacation before the summer comes to an end.

The select few people that need to use a diameter tape measure have questions before they order. Here are the top 10:
The pipe diameter tape measure that is frequently overlooked, has more to offer than all the others.
This forgotten child gives you the outside diameter of a pipeline in both inches
and centimeters. It is valuable to both Americans (using the inch system) and those who use the Metric system of measurements. It goes up to 38″ diameter (955 millimeters diameter). The only thing it doesn’t offer is the ability to measure straight objects. You would have to have a regular tape for that.
Who would use this tape? Inspectors who travel and deal with both systems. Any drilling companies that use both metric and imperial systems of measurement.
Pi-Cobra Diameter Tape, Metric & Inch Workers in oilfields and gas fields use
to keep track of their tasks.
These workers need a rugged book to record these measurements. Tally books need these features:
Every year on August 7th the United States celebrates recipients of the Purple Heart. The Armed Forces give this award to members of the military who have been wounded, killed, or died from wounds caused by an enemy attack. Let us all honor those recipients and be grateful for the freedoms and liberties for which they fight.
