Spanish term or phrase: regla t/hueca/paralela/
Estoy haciendo una ficha terminológica (soy estudiante de traducción aún) sobre instrumentos de medición utilizados por arquitectos. Tengo 4 términos que aún no puedo encontrarles una definición, y tampoco sé si sus equivalentes en inglés están correctos.

escuadra de centrado = centring square
regla hueca = hollow rule
regla paralela = parallel ruler
regla t = T-shaped ruler / posting square

Gracias.

agree  María Teresa Taylor Oliver: Nunca he escuchado lo de "regla hueca", pero lo más probable es que sea el escalímetro, que es cierto que tiene una ranura en cada uno de los tres lados.
