## Features

- FOUR SCALES ON ONE RULER - The Pacific Arc pica pole carries pica, point, agate and inch graduations on a single stainless steel ruler, so you can measure type, leading, column depth and artwork without switching tools.
- ETCHED GRADUATIONS THAT LAST - The scale marks are etched into the stainless steel rather than printed on, so they hold up to handling, solvents and daily desk use instead of wearing away at the edges.
- BUILT FOR PRINT AND LAYOUT WORK - Also called a line gauge, pica stick, printer ruler or agate ruler. Used by printers, typesetters, editors, graphic designers, sign makers, drafters and design students for proofs, mock-ups and layouts.
- CHOOSE YOUR LENGTH AND STYLE - Available in several lengths and in single or multi-pack quantities, in both the hooked-end profile and a flat profile with a hanging hole. Select the option that matches your desk and your work.
- A DURABLE METAL STRAIGHT EDGE - The stainless steel body resists nicks and bending, so the ruler doubles as a reliable straight edge for trimming, ruling and marking. A practical gift for a printer, editor or designer.
