[blindkid] Questions about rulers and perpetual calendars

[Olivero, Treva]

Hi Richard, 
The ruler has raised lines that measure 16th of an inch. Then there are
lines that show inches. There are no Braille numbers. You measure by
counting the clicks. If you want further explanation, please call; it's
a little difficult to explain in an e-mail. My number is 410-659-9314
Ext. 2295.

Treva, 

That is an interesting ruler. Can you explain how the scale is read? 

Are there braille numbers for inches or must one count the whole way up
the scale? I can't seem to tell from the description and the photos is
too small to make that out.



Thanks.
