A measuring rod is a tool used to physically measure lengths and survey areas of various sizes. Most measuring rods are round or square sectioned, however they can be flat boards. Some have markings at regular intervals. It is likely that the measuring rod was used before the line, chain or steel tapes used in modern measurement.
The oldest preserved measuring rod is a copper-alloy bar which was found by the German Assyriologist Eckhard Unger while excavating at Nippur (pictured below). The bar dates from c. 2650 BC. and Unger claimed it was used as a measurement standard. This irregularly formed and irregularly marked graduated rule supposedly defined the Sumerian cubit as about 518.5 mm or 20.4 inches, although this does not agree with other evidence from the statues of Gudea from the same region, five centuries later.
Measuring rods for different purposes and sizes (construction, tailoring and land survey) have been found from China and elsewhere dating to the early 2nd millennium B.C.E.

This is a description of the technique I am using the measure the rod bearing clearance on an EZ30R motor I am rebuilding. The bearings in this particular case are the original bearings in the first build of the turbo motor back in 2005. They were very beat up and had significant surface damage. These measurements were just to give me a reference as to how the motor was built the first time.

http://www.ezwoodshop.com/easy-measure-stick.html The Easy Way to Measure! Getting inside measurements can be tricky with a measuring tape or ruler. That's why I created the the EZ Measure Stick. The unique expandable rod lets you record exact dimensions from some of the most hard-to-measure spaces you can imagine. Go Where Tapes and Rules Don't Fit! The large EZ Measure Stick captures measurements from 7 inches (collapsed) to 45 inches (expanded). The mini Measure Stick captures measurements from 3 inches to 8- 1/2 inches. Then it's simply a matter of copying the measurement to the board you want to cut.
Measuring fishing rod guides is uniform across all styles and manufacturers. Measuring the inside diameter of the frame in millimeters will provide you with the guide size. If the guide contains a ceramic insert, you have to measure the outside diameter of the insert(again in millimeters).

In this lesson we study deeper the meaning of the measuring rod given to John and the identity of the two witnesses and how it relates to the last 3 1/2 years of the Great Tribulation
This video discusses which books that are in what we call the bible are part of our Creator's measuring rod that we must measure all things with. It also discusses whether any outside books such as the book of Enoch or Jasher or the Apocrypha or other books should be part of it
This evening we will be progressing into the 11th chapter of the book of Revelation. We will begin with a general overview of the vision concerning the Two Witnesses, so as to have a clear chronological outline of events portrayed. We'll then attempt to understand just what God is trying to reveal to us by breaking down and allowing the Bible to explain each symbol, player, and aspect for us. Some of the issues addressed tonight will be, - What is the significance of the measuring reed/rod given to John? - Which 'temple' is Revelation 11:1 referring to? - What is Jerusalem and why is it being 'trampled' upon? - What does Zechariah 2 have to do with Revelation 11? - Just what exactly is meant by the act of measuring itself? - Is it possible to learn the identity of those inside the t...

The truss rod in your guitar's neck is a vital component in making sure your guitar is set up correctly and plays well. In this video, Dave explains how to measure neck relief to determine if the truss rod needs to be adjusted...and if it does, how to make the adjustment. If you adjust the truss rod incorrectly, you can damage the guitar. However, if you are careful, this is the sort of thing you can do yourself. In this video Dave explains how to measure string relied Got a question?
