The holiday season is officially upon us, and people are eagerly putting together their holiday gift lists. It’s best to plan ahead and take care of the employees and customers on your list who need an architect scale ruler. These are the best ones to spoil them with:
Knowing what tally books are is pretty much on a NTK (need-to-know) basis. If you’re in the oil or gas industries, forestry, contracting, etc. then you definitely know what these trusty little books are for, and how important they are to keeping on-the-job records.
Here are the top 5 features of these small but mighty record-keepers:
Golfers nationwide will be celebrating second chances today on National Mulligan Day. In golf, a mulligan happens when a player gets a second chance to perform a shot that went wrong. Don’t we all need that in our daily lives?
This week when you’re on the fairway with your customers, think about how you can advertise with golf gifts with your logo. Need matching golf shirts for an upcoming tournament? What about a custom golf ball set? Your customers will appreciate any golf gift with your logo you can think of.
No do-overs needed.
Good luck out there on the golf course- Here’s to more birdies and less bogeys!
As our minds drift back to elementary American history lessons tomorrow, one can only think, “Did Christopher Columbus have access to an architect scale ruler in his day?”
Okay, sure, that’s probably not the first question that pops to mind when you think about Columbus Day. But surely, Columbus must have possessed a ruler of sorts to help measure his ships, even if it wasn’t an architect scale ruler.

There doesn’t need to be a national holiday to remind us all that buying products made in the USA is one of the best ways to support our country. There are so many benefits, including but not limited to:
So today, on National Manufacturing Day, don’t forget to support our local companies and workers and buy products made in the USA.
Workers and inspectors in the oilfields and gas fields all use tally books to keep track of data. What kind of data?
To supercharge your tally books, here are some cool ideas:
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!
Finally, Friday is here! How do you celebrate the end of the workweek? Do you order takeout, crack open a cold bottle of beer, or are you more of a wine drinker? Any red wine enthusiast will be happy to celebrate today- it’s Chianti Day.
