Military sketching and map reading for non-commissioned officers . oves shouldbe made with a sharp knife to indicate the divisions of the scale, and these groovesmarked with black, water-proof, India ink, using a crow-quill pen. Either the instructor or some member of the class who is a fair draftsman shouldinscribe the scales on the rules. When the scales are once transferred to the rules,these rules should be considered just as much a part of the non-commissionedofficers equipment as his canteen. On the Universal Rule are reading scales of yards for one, two and three inchesequals one mile.

When the scales are once transferred to the rules,these rules should be considered just as much a part of the non-commissionedofficers equipment as his canteen. On the Universal Rule are reading scales of yards for one, two and three inchesequals one mile. By the aid of these scales and multiples thereof, a reading scalein yards for any map may be quickly constructed. For a method in detail of constructing scales see appendix. However, themathematical amd mechanical work involved in constructing scales is no more essen-tial to the instruction of non-commissioned officers than the construction of a compass.
