Tape measures are made from a variety of materials,<br> including fiber glass,<br> plastic and cloth. They are among the most common measuring tools used today.\nGenerally speaking,<br> the term \u201ctape measure\u201d refers to a roll-up,<br> self-retracting style tape measure that\u2019s designed for carpentry. The actual tape potion of the measure,<br> called the \u2018ribbon,<br>\u2019 is usually constructed from a stiff metallic material that can stiffen when needed but can also roll up for simple use and storage. However,<br> the term covers all types of tape measures \u2013 even tailor\u2019s tape.\nThe modern idea of tape measures originated in tailoring with cloth tape used to alter or fix clothing. It wasn\u2019t until carpenters adopted the Farrand Rapid Rule,<br> patented by Hiram Farrand,<br> that the tape measure became a staple of common usage. Ferrand\u2019s design was later sold to Stanley Works.\nTape measures come in both Imperial Units (inches and feet) and metric (centimeters and meters),<br> featuring unit breakdowns for further accuracy. Specialized versions can include markings that cover truss lengths for roofing and stud intervals for housing.\nThe guides below for how to read a tape measure and how to measure on a tape measure assume Imperial (American) units for the explanations\n\n ![image (https:\/\/img.esteem.ws\/te1it6he3k.jpg)",<br>"json_metadata":" \"links\":[ ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/img.esteem.ws\/te1it6he3k.jpg\" ,<br>\"tags\":[\"esteem\",<br>\"artzone\",<br>\"wafrica\",<br>\"stephenkendal\",<br>\"measurement\" ,<br>\"app\":\"esteem\/1.5.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown+html\",<br>\"community\":\"esteem\" " |
