> Reading the Tape by Handyman on 07/26/2005

After a debate with a co-worker on measurements I am cuious if you could post a copy of actual tape measurements for my review. Is there a way to see all the measurements on a measuring tape other than the quarter, half, three quarter, and whole number. I would like to see how the other marks on the tape are read. (Ex.3/16,7/8....)
