[BlindMath] Millimeter Ruler

[Susan Osterhaus]

You'll want to get one of the new Tactile Calipers from Squirrel Devices.
National Braille Press is selling the one that measures to 1/16 inch, but
they have a brand new one that has a precision of 1 mm. I think they are
currently negotiating how to distribute it.

Click rulers are more for "shop work" such as woodcutting or metallurgy.

The NFB sells click rulers, not sure this is the exact name. It goes down
to 1/16 of an inch, not MM. National Braille Press sells some sort of
measuring device, I think, but no nothing about it.
