There is a distinct mark (Either an arrow or a dot)in addition to normal markings, every 16" in a commercially available measuring tape. What does this indicate?
Does 16" stand for some old measuring units?
Correctomundo, 16" is standard stud spacing for residential housing construction in the US. For commercial I believe you can use either 16" or 24"
