Action
Measure the dimensions of the original artwork.
Rotating the scale, align the dimension representing width of the
original artwork across from the dimension representing the
allotted width.
Without moving the scale, read the dimension located directly
across from the dimension for height on the original artwork. This
is the proportional height of the allotted dimension.
A small window toward the center of the scale will give you the
ratios of the percentage of the original size and the number of times
the artwork is reduced.
To use a proportional scale for enlargements, use this table:

Without moving the scale, read the dimension located directly
across from the dimension for height on the original artwork. This
is the proportional height of the allotted dimension.
The small window toward the center of the scale will give you the
percentage of enlargement of the original artwork but, will not give
you the number of times enlarged.
