Cool Engineering Ruler/Scale

Does anyone know of a website that can explain how to interpret this type of ruler? It is a Helix model Triangle ruler.

Thank you.

Are you sure iit is an engineers scale or is it an architect's scale.


Here is one site for an architects scale.

On this link, look for "measuring tips" There is a primer on architects and engineers scales.

I think thisis the link to architects scale
