@roddy_fcts: The gap before zero on your ruler isn't a mistake โ€” it has a name and it's been protecting your measurements since 1851 ๐Ÿ“ It's called end allowance. #engineering #design #Science #facts

It is cause rats used to eat the wooden once ( the original once) so they added the gap to still see the measurements

Fun fact: a ruler has the blank bot before the zero mark, a rule does not.

And also in case thereโ€™s a miss production, and the numbers get printed like 0.2 or sum cm off it will still all be on the ruler

the real reason is probably cost, not confort, or any other excuse. starting graduation exactly from the start is more complicated, and thus more expensive. here, we don't care if the start of off by a few millimeters.

You can replace the ruler, but you cannot perfectly match the point where the 0 is
