How do you measure with a slide rule?
First, it's not a slide "ruler," as was stated in the original question. It's a slide rule. Second, you don't measure anything with a slide rule. It's not a measurement device; it's an obsolete calculating device. It was used to simplify multiplication and division. Correction to original answer: The answer above (and the classification as a math category question instead of a mechanical measurement question) is based upon ignorance of the nature of, or existence of the slide caliper ruler. A slide caliper is a measuring tool used in mechanical applications. The caliper (not rule) consists of a metal strip or bar about 6.5 inches ling and 1/2 inch wide. One end has an extension about 1.5 inches long at right angles to the main bar. The main bar is inscribed with a scale, in inches - generally in 16ths of an inch. Affixed to the bar is a slide, with a similar extension. This second extension comes into contact with the first at the zero point. In the slide is a window, which is inscribed with a scale which is at a ratio of 7/8 to the scale inscribed on the bar. When the slide ruler is used to measure the outside dimension of an object the two extensions are in contact with the object on opposite sides. The dimension is read in a window in the slide. In reading the scale, it is noted that one of the inscribed lines on the 7/8 scale window will be virtually in line with one of the lines on the bar. The measurement is read by taking the measure at the "zero" line on the bar, and adding a factor derived from the matching lines. (That procedure is not known to me, but involves reading the "vernier scale".) The answer to the question as originally asked would depend upon whether the word "ruler" was intended to denote the slide caliper measuring tool, or - as assumed in the original answer - the slide rule formerly used in mathematical calculations.
What was the purpose of slide rule?
Well.. the purpose of the slide rule is that, to count, add, subtract, multiply, and divide. For as its structure is like a ruler and has a transparent slider. It is the type of a cursor, used for pointing out the numerals/ numbers. It is the third calculator invented, after Napier's bones. It was invented by Napier, as well.
How does a slide rule work?
You set the input number by sliding the center sliding part arrow, to align with a number on the static part. There are many scales along the ruler, where you can pick off the answer by reading across.

Does water slide or roll?
Slide.
Who invented slide calipers?
Slide calipers was invented by the French mathematician Pierre Vernier.It was known as Vernier calipers.
What is the range of vernier Calipers?
Calipers are a measuring device to measure length accurately. It is basically a ruler where you can put the thing you are measuring on the ruler and slide a contact to touch the end and read the ruler. A vernier, which works on calipers or many other measuring devices, is a way to divide up the readings into even smaller increments so you can measure even more accurately. For example, instead of finding the object is 43mm long, you can read it is 43.3mm long. +++ The "Vernier" part is a subsidiary scale engraved to one increment longer than the equivalent value on the main scale for the same number of steps, providing a magnifying effect that allows reading the length to 1/1000" or 0.01mm. Often now replaced by a digital equivalent, sometimes referred to as "verniers" colloquially but quite wrongly.
What causes brake calipers to stick on a pt cruiser?
not lubricating your slide pins when you replace your brakes
How do you change 240SX rotors?
take wheels off, remove brake calipers. rotors slide right off.
How to removeFront brake calipers 98 Malibu?
take tire off! remove the slide pins on caliper,should be Allen wrench heads on bolts. then slide off of rotor!!
What is an instrument used for measuring length?
A ruler, a tape measure, a measuring wheel or a laser range finder.
How To Change Rotors On Chevy Cavalier?
jack it up remove the wheel then the brake calipers then the rotors should slide off
Is the slide rule a wooden frame and ruler?
Not necessarily. I have one which is plastic.
Which intrument used a U-shaped slide to change pitches?
All brass instruments (except the sousaphone) have slides. They are used to adjust the pitch, sharp of flat. The instrument that is played using a slide is the Trombone. It also has a slide on the back that is used to tune, or adjust pitch.
How to remove brake caliper on Kia Sportage 2002?
remove th front wheel, undo the 2 bolts on calipers and bushings,thenlift calipers off. HINT: if calipers seem to stick then get a large flat bladed screwdriver and wedge it between rotor and caliper and apply just enough force to back off pistons in calipers to remove them then they will slide off.
How do you change the brake pads on a 1987 Volvo 240DL?
Put the car on jack stands and remove the wheels. Locate the calipers and brake pads and remove the pins and clips from the calipers. Slide out the old brake pads and push the piston back to make room for the new pads and shims. Slide in the new pads and shims and put the pins, clips and cotter pins back in. The front and rear replacement process are very similar, but have different pads and shims.
What are the steps to replace front brakes on a 1989 Volvo 240 DL?
Put the car on jack stands and remove the wheels. Locate the calipers and brake pads and remove the pins and clips from the calipers. Slide out the old brake pads and push the piston back to make room for the new pads and shims. Slide in the new pads and shims and put the pins, clips and cotter pins back in. The front and rear replacement process are very similar, but have different pads and shims.
