GAEBEL, INC. stainless steel rulers are, and for over 55 years always have been, manufactured in the USA from the highest quality steel obtainable. We are currently using 301 and 410 spring tempered stainless steel. Don’t be misled by imitations and poor quality imports. All of our rulers are manufactured using ISO 9002 standards. As you review the following pages for the ruler that best meets your requirements, you will notice that in addition to inch and metric scales, many printer scale combinations are available. Brief definitions of these scales follow: A point is a measurement of .0138 or approximately 1/72 of an inch. In other words, there are approximately 72 points to the inch. All type is designated in points (10-point Caslon, 24-point Baskerville, etc.). Points are always used to specify the size of type. Typefaces may be set in sizes from four to 144 points, but are generally used in six to 72 points. Line spacing is also specified in points (two points of leading, etc.). A pica is used for linear measurements of type (a pica gauge is the printer’s measuring tool). There are 12 points to 1 pica, and approximately 6 picas to 1 inch. The length of a line is specified in picas, as well as depth of a type area. For example, a given block of copy is to be set 20 picas wide by 36 picas deep. Inches are never used in type measurement. An agate line is a measurement used by newspapers to sell advertising space. There are 14 agate lines to an inch. An agate line refers to the space occupied by one line of agate type in one column. The width of the column can vary from paper to paper. A 60-line ad can take several forms: 60 agate lines in one column, 30 agate lines in 2 columns, etc. A cicero is a continental unit of measurement for type, equal to 12 Didot points, or .178 inches, roughly comparable to a pica. Named after the type cast for a 15th century edition of Cicero’s works. 600 601 (front) 601 (back) 600 Series This one-sided ruler is available in 12", 18" and 24" lengths.
