Huh.  I was going to write a post saying you guys were full of it,
when I noticed that my #62 changes from 12ths to 10ths along the
same edge.  Wonder why that seemed like a good idea??

The 66-3/4 rule (brass bound boxwood, 36") is the one I use all the
time, and it only has 1/8" and 1/16" divisions.  The #62 was my
first folding rule, but I found that I needed extra length too often.
