The mutual logic is inescapable. It struck me that the box must be less than 12 inches high. Otherwise we’re just dealing in commercial convenience. Not much sense in having 12-inch rulers that don’t take into account the different versions of what 12 inches are.

Ballpark figures? I would think ballparks would really care how long a foot is.

Still, you can’t help but wonder which ruler is the real ruler.

A mold maker once showed me his collection of different length rulers, used to compensate for mold shrinkage.

Hmm, can have some fun with a box of ruler “seconds”:
Wands for Howarts mathematicians?
Politicians who like to say that they give “the whole nine yards” or “measure for measure”?
Let’s just hope none of them open up a portal to Heck…

They are PC rulers – they all identify as a foot long

If it falls outside the ballpark, you have a home run or an impressive foul.

some of them are 36 or 24 inches.
