Depth Scale

Supposing your layout calls for 14pt type, set solid. You simply set your scale against the allotted area and tick off line for line. A single base line in pencil would do if you're filling in the x-height thickness with magic marker or brush etc.

Alternatively tick off a double line as you go down the paper. Similarly with all other type - 6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12pt solid.

If type is to be leaded, the leading must be allowed for. You would, for instance, use the 14pt scale for 11pt type 3pt leaded, or for 12pt type 2pt leaded. Similarly with the leading for all other sizes of type.

For 14pt type, leaded, use mulitples of appropriate point size, to obtain an accurate check. For example, 14pt type, 2pt leaded, would be ticked off against every other line of the 8pt scale.

The typescale is also useful for some awkward divisions of space, as for tabular matter. For example, a 3" measure that needs splitting into seven equal parts. Laying the typescale aslant across the marked 3", one finds, after quick trial-and-error, that line 21 of the 10½pt scale will line up with the 3", so that ticking off line 3 and its multiples gives us 7 equal divisions very quickly.
