Navigation Rule Mk1, 6B/260. Crafted from durable, lightweight plastic, the ruler is designed to withstand the rigours of daily use in both marine and land-based environments.
At just 1mm thick, it strikes the perfect balance between portability and sturdiness, ensuring it fits seamlessly into your navigation toolkit, chart table, or even your pocket. The sleek white finish not only adds to its professional appearance but also provides excellent visibility for the scales and measurements printed on both sides.
Dual-Sided Functionality
One of the standout features of this ruler is its dual-sided functionality. Both sides of the rule are printed with essential measurement scales, making it a time-saving tool that eliminates the need for multiple rulers. On one side, you’ll find three nautical mile scales: 1:250,000, 1:500,000, and 1:1,000,000. These scales are specifically tailored for a variety of navigational tasks, ensuring that you can easily measure distances on different types of charts, whether you’re planning a short coastal trip or plotting a long-distance ocean voyage.
The three scales cater to different levels of map detail, allowing for precise calculations of nautical miles. Whether you need to zoom in on a particular section of a map or get a broader overview of your route, this rule has you covered.
Convenient Conversion Scales
On the reverse side, the ruler features practical conversion scales for both distance and speed. The Metres/Feet conversion scale is particularly useful for converting land measurements when working with mixed units, which is often the case in technical and navigational contexts. This ensures that you can effortlessly convert metres to feet, and vice versa, without needing a separate tool or complex calculations.
In addition, the ruler includes a handy M.P.H./Knots conversion scale, ideal for converting speed measurements. Whether you’re navigating on land or sea, this scale allows you to quickly and easily convert miles per hour to knots – a critical conversion for anyone working in both nautical and terrestrial navigation.
Practical Design Features
Our ruler’s design takes functionality to the next level with hanging holes at both ends, ensuring it’s always easy to store and retrieve. Whether you’re hanging it on a hook near your workstation or securing it to your navigation table, the convenient holes add another layer of practicality to this already indispensable tool. No more fumbling around in a drawer when you need it most – your ruler will be exactly where you left it, ready for action.
