	Ruler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A ruler is an instrument used in geometry and technical drawing to measure short distances and/or to rule straight lines.
		Strictly speaking, the ruler is the instrument used to rule and calibrated stick for measurement is called a measure.
		The ruler (calibrated, though numbers are not shown) appears as a charge in heraldry in the arms of Odouze.

	Ruler-and-compass construction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ruler is infinitely long, but it has no markings on it and has only one edge (thus making it a straightedge instead of what we usually think of as a ruler).
		Stated this way, ruler and compass constructions appear to be a parlor game, rather than a serious practical problem.
		It is impossible to take a square root with just a ruler, so some things cannot be constructed with a ruler that can be constructed with a compass; but (by the Poncelet-Steiner theorem) given a single circle and its center, they can be constructed.

		The ruler is indeed a straightedge, and may not be marked; the compass may only be set to already constructed distances, and used to describe circular arcs.
		Without the constraint of requiring solution by ruler and compasses alone, the problem is easily soluble by a wide variety of geometric and algebraic means, and has been solved many times in antiquity.
		It is impossible to take a square root with just a ruler, so some things cannot be constructed with a ruler that can be constructed with a compass; but given a circle and its center, they can be constructed.

	An Essay on The Ruler: What is Measurement? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Consider the ubiquitous 12 inch ruler (or its multiples, the yardstick, tape measure,or any metric equivalent) and how useful it is in everyday life.
		The left-most edge or marker of the ruler is the beginning and indicates the absence of any units, i.e., none.
		The crucial concept is that the abstract mathematical properties of a ruler transcend the concrete instrument.

	Ruler · Astrological definition of Ruler · Astrology Encyclopedia
		The Lord of the Nativity, or as often termed the Ruler of the Horoscope, is variously the most strongly placed planet in the map, especially that planet which is in the First House and close to the ascending degree.
		Conditions affecting the Ruler of the Sign on the cusp of a House, or of the Sign intercepting a House, are of secondary importance to the influence of a planet actually posited in the House.
		However, the considerations affecting the Ruler are consulted for testimony concerning a House in which no planet is posited, on the principle that the planet's dignity with reference to a house on the cusp of which its sign appears, persists even though its owner may be absent.

		A number of ancient problems in geometry involve the construction of lengths or angles using only an idealized ruler and compass, or more properly a straightedge and compass.
		Stated this way, ruler and compass constructions are a parlor game, rather than a serious practical problem.
		Therefore the degree for the minimal polynomial for cos 20° is of degree three, so cos 20° is not constructible and 60° cannot be trisected.

	Halfbakery: see-through ruler
		When you are using a cutting board, scapel and ruler, the ruler is usually metal.
		The beauty of using a clear plastic ruler for this is that you can draw out a piano keyboard on paper with the keys spaced according to the ruler's "note distance" and can tape this keyboard to the underside of the ruler.
		I'd have thought that the frequency is inversely proportional to the square root of the lenght, and the percieved pitch varies as the log of that - ie reducing the length to one quarter of the current length will increase the note by one octave.
