Proposed name change

A graduation isn't an instrument really in any sense of the word. It's on an instrument. I propose changing the name to Graduation (marking).

This idea arose because, when perusing the disambiguation page, I didn't see the article I was looking for, and almost set out to create it.

I doubt this page has many followers but I figured I'd put it out there before acting. Cartographile (talk) 20:08, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that something doesn't make sense with this article. Rather than renaming the article, an alternative would be to keep the current name, change the disambiguation page to Graduation (marking), and revise the text of this article to be primarily about the marks, and only secondarily about how they are made.Christopher King (talk) 19:51, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Graduation style sources

I'm trying to track down primary sources for the 4R, 16R, etc. graduation styles. I've not had any success, but did find U.S. Federal Specification GGG-R-791H, "Federal Specification Rules, Measuring", which has a list with a different naming scheme at http://http://everyspec.com/FED_SPECS/G/download.php?spec=GGG-R-791H.052423.pdf

Can anyone help me track down any U.S. and international standards for graduation styles? PetesGuide, K6WEB (talk) 16:49, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
