This one has me stumped and Im sure somebody here will know what this is for. I bought this drafting ruler at a garage sale. What is the metal piece at the end of the ruler for? It has one on both ends.

What you bought is a drafting machine scale. The metal clips slide into the head.

What he said.
I'm looking for one for my dad's drafting machine if you're interested in selling/trading it.
