In preparation for tomorrow – it’s National Set A Good Example Day – let’s make a quick list of how you can do exactly that!
Tally Books have been around for a long time. They are pocket-sized blank
notebooks used for recording data in the field. Oilfield workers are frequent users of such books. Every time you add a section of pipe, or make a change in the settings of the drilling rig, you would want to record that right now. Tally books are designed to be pocket size, durable, and water resistant. Even the new “stone pad” looks like paper, but it is resistant to water and physical attempts to tear the pages.
Why not use an electronic method of recording these bits of data? That would require a reliable power source, unbreakable device, and one that is not able to malfunction. Then, it is smart to stay with an old fashioned notebook.
Custom tally books are available, too. Your company logo, phone number, and even tables, can be imprinted on the cover.
The people that need to use an Architect Scale Ruler aren’t just architects. Here’s
a list of other users:
When looking at blueprints, you notice that they are drawn to a specific scale. The scale is not the same for a room, a house, a neighborhood, or a development. The scale is noted at the bottom right corner of the drawing in the information box. Typical scales are:
1/4 could be used for “1/4 inch equals one foot”, or “1/4 inch equals 100 feet”, or “1/4 inch equals one mile”. It depends on the scale of the drawing.
How do you use the Architect Scale Ruler?
If the drawing information box says “1/4 inch equals one mile”, then place the 1/4 part of the ruler along the object that you are measuring. If the object lines up with “9” on the ruler, then it is 9 miles long. Simple enough.
Remember, the clue to which scale to use, is in the information box on the drawing.
The 3rd Friday in September is National Tradesmen Day in the United States.
Tally Books make good gifts on this day, to all tradesmen. These books were originally designed for those in the pipe industry. But they can be used as weatherproof record-keepers for all these trades:
Carpenters
Plumbers
Painters
Line Workers (Electric power lines)
Oilfield Workers
HVAC contractors
Highway Contractors
Wind Power Workers
Iron Workers
The company’s full color logo can be printed on the front and back of the cover. And, there can be vinyl sleeves inside, for the carrier to use for important papers and business cards. A new option is the “stone pad”, which looks like paper, only it won’t tear, and won’t fail when soaked in water. Tally books aren’t just small notebooks. They are rugged field books that fit in your pocket.
If you couldn’t already tell by all of the back-to-school supplies taking over the store shelves these days, summer is almost over.
What were your favorite memories of Summer 2024?
– Backyard BBQ’s with family & friends
– Lazy days by the pool
– Building sandcastles on the beach (Did you know that today is National Sandcastle Day?)
If your favorite memory was a sandy beach day, then I sure hope you brought an Architect Scale Ruler to measure up your creation and see what its real-life size would be!
