Methods for measuring distance

摘要

One or more specific embodiments disclosed herein includes a method for manually measuring the distance between a first and second point, comprising: providing a measuring device, placing the measuring device between the first and second points, moving the first or second elongated members, or both, from the first position to the second position, and determining the distance between the first and second points. The measuring device comprises: a first and second elongated member, wherein the first and second elongated members are disposed in substantially parallel relation to each other and are movable in relation to one another between a first and second position and a first scale that provides a first distance measurement and a second scale that provides a second distance measurement, wherein the distance between the first and second points is based at least in part on the combination of the first and second distance measurements.

1. A method for manually measuring a distance between a first point and a second point comprising:
providing a device comprising:
a first member and a second member that is positioned adjacent to the first member, wherein the first member is capable of sliding with respect to the second member in an axial direction and wherein each of the first and second members is substantially straight and has at least two outer longitudinal sides that are substantially straight and substantially parallel to one another,a first replacement tip receiver at a first location between the two outer longitudinal sides of the first member, wherein a first tip can be removably coupled to the first member at the first location, and wherein the first tip includes a first tip point capable of corresponding to the first point of the distance to be measured;a second replacement tip receiver at a second location between the two outer longitudinal sides of the second member, wherein a second tip can be removably coupled to the second member at the second location, and wherein the second tip includes a second tip point capable of corresponding to the second point of the distance to be measured; anda first scale that provides a first distance measurement and a second scale that provides a second distance measurement.
