as a future engineer and going back to school for STEM, our professor asked us to do a research on how the engineering scale works. glad to find this video very helpful. Thank you very much!

I've own an engineering scale for about 15 years. I just always used it for the U.S. Standard and I liked the triangular shape. Today I learned how to use it haha. Fantastic! I can finally use it to it's full potential.

Thank you for posting this most informative video. I do have a question you state at min: 3:00 the uses for both scale. I would to know if an Engineering Scale should used for small scale items. exp. Housing for Print Circuit Boards or Hold Down Assembly or can a Architect Scale can be used interchangeably.

As a metal fabricator who regularly has to fix engineers drawings so that they actually work in the real world. Thanks. I've been paid for many an hour fixing your daydreams. Synchronicity. Beautiful

[@JD-ez8fg]

Well explained but I’m a visual learner.wish the camara was close to the drawing and the scale as you were explaining
