Abstract A method and means for cutting or ruling squares is disclosed. The device comprises first and second flat guide members which are adapted to be positioned on the film halftone or diffusion transfer print. The first flat guide member comprises an elongated base portion and an elongated leg portion extending from one end of the base portion at a right angle thereto. The base and leg portions have inner guide edges formed thereon. The second flat guide member comprises an elongated base portion and an elongated leg portion extending from one end of the base portion at a right angle thereto. The base and leg portions of the second guide member have outer guide edges complementary to the inner guide edges of the first guide member. The base and leg portions of the second guide member also have inner guide edges provided thereon. The two guide members are used together to either rule or cut four perfect 90° rules or cuts on four sides of the film halftone or diffusion transfer print.
A device for cutting squares, comprising, a first flat guide member comprising an elongated base portion and an elongated leg portion extending from one end of said base portion at a right angle thereto, said base and leg portions having inner guide edges formed thereon, and a second flat guide member comprising an elongated base portion and an elongated leg portion extending from one end of said base portion at a right angle thereto, said base and leg portions having outer guide edges complimentary to the inner guide edges on said first guide member, said base and leg portions of said second guide member having inner guide edges provided thereon, said base and leg portions of each of said first and second guide members having scales provided thereon, said scales on said base and leg portions of said first guide member having their 0 indices spaced a predetermined distance from the inner guide edges of said leg and base portions respectively, said spacing corresponding to the width of said base and leg portions of said second guide member respectively.
