| Description : | The artifact is a wooden ruler that can be folded to a quarter of its length. There is a circular metal pivot in the centre of the ruler with additional hinges to extend it further. |
| Commentaires : | This type of wooden ruler was the predecessor to the modern tape measure (invented in 1868). However, these rulers were used widely by craftsmen until the early twentieth century when the metallic tape measure came into wider use. |
