Yardstick on Tool Rack
The Brass Plug and Angle Are Convenient Additions to the Yardstick, Which Forms the Front of the Tool Rack
I have derived considerable satisfaction from the use of a yardstick fitted above my workbench. A plug of brass, having a center-punch mark, was inserted at the zero point on the yardstick. This is convenient in setting dividers and other instruments. Below the plug was fixed a small brass angle, set so that its inner face was at the zero point. This is useful in measuring pieces from a finished end. If the end of the yardstick is at the zero point it is necessary to attach a small extension to take the brass plug.—V. A. Rettich, Hollis, N.
