Rules comprised of short strips of wood joined at their ends by rivets so that the pieces are foldable, in a zigzag manner, in parallel planes; most usually the strips are in 6-inch or 1-foot lengths, and the rules are 6 feet or 8 feet long when open; also of similar lengths in metric units. Distinct from "folding rules" which tend to be shorter and have sections that usually pivot or fold in more than one plane.
