How to Use an Architect Scale Ruler

To operate an architect scale ruler, first look at the Title Block on the blueprint. It is located in the bottom right corner. This area contains valuable information to help you choose the correct scale: title of the drawing, the owner or customer of the project, names of the designer, drawer, pertinent ID numbers, and the supervisors. It has the page number, if multiple pages are involved, and the version number. It also has areas for the signatures of those who approved the drawing, and the dates they approved it.

There is also a small block that says what scale the drawing was made in. This is what you really need. Some examples are: 1″ = 30′, 1/4″=1′, 1/8″=1′, 1/2″=1’0″. If it is 1/8=1′, then use the side of the tape (more)……

3 Secrets of Custom Tally Books

Custom Tally Books in the Field

What are custom tally books, and what can they do for your business? Here are 3 big secrets to help you promote your company’s business:

Tally books are “field books” that are rugged, weather-resistant, and are ruled to accept your continual entry of data. They can be custom-made with your logo and other information. That information is protected from the weather with the use of a vinyl cover.
Secret number 2 is that your employees can use these books to assure that your vital data is recorded on the spot, in the field, and protected until they can get back to the office and have it entered into your computer system.
Secret number 3 is that you can advertise your company on them and give them to your customers….. Your customers who need tally books in their business. They are used by oil drilling companies, well service businesses, trucking companies, pipe companies, geologists, environmentalists, news media, electric companies, and survey crews.

3 Promotional Advertising Items You Can’t Live Without

Promotional advertising items aren’t just for getting your logo out there. They are useful items, too. Take a look at your refrigerator door, the items on your desk, the items in your desk drawer, and logo items in your car and garage. Look at your closet. It isn’t hard to find a company’s logo on items in all these places. Here are 3 promotional advertising items that you just can’t live without:

Calendars. Most people have at least 1 or 2 wall calendars, and a few smaller stick-on calendars or card calendars, or one on the refrigerator. Even with a calendar on our smart phones, we still like to see one when we look around the room.
Clothing. Wearable promotional products are seen everywhere indoors and outdoors. Besides food and shelter, clothing is one of the top 3 necessities of life. You can see sports logos, corporate imprints, and school insignia on jackets, shirts, hats, and pants everywhere you look.
Writing Instruments. What would you do without a pen to write checks, make notes, and record phone numbers. Is there any doubt that we can’t live without pens?
