Thank you Liam.. Good to have a guideline for this.. as a "Outsider" No resident in UK.. I hope that it will become natural to use cm or mm as standard for the M- scale or ruler part..
I will humbly post this to free use - http://www.vendian.org/mncharity/dir3/paper_rulers/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and the easy one - http://jasonquinlan.com/2009/04/11/arti ... to-scales/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ready to download and print - all it is to do then is a littel Christmas decorations cutting..
For those who like the Evidence Scale and like to do their own design - http://seveness.de/pubfiles/scalemetric.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and the PDF Editer you will need - http://www.pdfescape.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks Father Christmas
Some very good helpful tips there from you as usual John. Like Bruce I am going metric inch by inch ... but most of the younger forum members will have already been educated in metric anyway. It does not take too long to do a great ID post and once you learn how to get all the info included then you are far more likely to get a top class ID straight away, Liam

Bruce "going metric inch by inch" is meant to mean NEVER!
My work involves tennis string. The thickness or gauge is described on the packet in TWO ways;
US - Gauge sytem, ok for me as I was once a sheetmetalworker, 16 gauge is 1/16th of an inch etc
Metric - 16 gauge is 1.30mm
The length is listed as 12 metres or 39 feet.
I have got used to it by now, but still refer to measurements in feet/inches and people understand, Liam

Happy hunting tomorrow everyone, Liam
