It's described as probably being a ruler for measuring lead-in and lead-out grooves. Anyone seen this before?

Sold for: US $149.00
Approximately £90.93
Postage: US $105.12 UPS Worldwide Saver

That's a lot in postage.

This has to be the most expensive ruler ever sold It is a piece of acrylic with some 12" 7" and 10" marking on it and it was a standard school item in German stores for about a Mark each
Arghh I got it Its Neumann so it has to cost plenty

We had a Neumann 'ruler' supplied with a new VMS 80. it assumes a 12 in
record is actually 12 in. when in fact it is 11 7/8 in.

Users beware when setting up lead in dia. !!

It is a fancy school ruler with a silk screen overlay

Andy B disagrees
Ah Well
