pica rulers (<rules for type composition>, <rulers by function>, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |

Note: Rules generally laid out in picas along one edge and graduated in inches along the other for measuring widths or margins or for centering of copy for printing. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Maatstokken die meestal zijn verdeeld in pica's langs de ene kant en in centimeters langs de andere, voor het meten van de breedtes van kantlijnen of voor het centreren van kopij die moet worden gedrukt. |
German ..... Lineal, das zumeist auf einer Seite in Pica und auf der anderen in Zoll unterteilt ist und das dazu verwendet wird, Schriftbreiten oder Seitenränder zu messen oder Text für den Druck zu zentrieren. |
Spanish ..... Reglas generalmente graduadas en picas a lo largo de un extremo y en pulgadas a lo largo del otro para medir anchuras o márgenes, o para centrar una copia para impresión. |
