Default Center-finding tape measure

An interesting low-tech gadget. It has two scales, one on each edge.
They are both labelled in inches, but the second scale is actually 50%
the size of the first one. To find the center of what you are
measuring, read the true scale, then find the corresponding number on
the other edge. That is the center.
