    Rolling rulers are still sold...

    and, IMO, are easier to use and require less work space than conventional parallel rulers...

    Still using both rolling and walking parallels, a lot to enjoy about mechanical drawing.
    This rack and pinion thing is new to me, and maybe as old, but that HB lead makes worst section lines ever!
