Subject: [NTG-context] Typesetting conversion tables, ref charts, scales, rulers in ConTeXt

Hi,
I'm looking into typesetting conversion tables, reference charts, scales
and rulers in ConTeXt, and am wondering if anyone has done this or might
have suggestions / pointers.
For instance, a Tap-Drill chart. Some examples:

https://web.archive.org/web/20180219112507id_/https://www.starrett.com/docs/educational/decimal-equivalent-card---bulletin-1317.pdf
https://www.imperialsupplies.com/pdf/I_DrillSizeDecimalEquivalent&TapDrillChart.pdf
https://basstool.com/pdf/literature/customer/tapdrillchart.pdf
Somewhat related, typesetting a ruler, e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=ruler+scale+inch+mm&ia=web
I found some interesting tips here:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/15157/how-to-make-a-ruler
which pointed to:
https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/generic/misc
specifically this file typesets some nice rulers:
https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/generic/misc/ruler.tex
Aditya posted some ConTeXt on that stackexchange page:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/15185
Checking to see if anything else might be out there.
Basically, I'm looking to typeset conversion charts, scales, etc for use
in the machine shop and lab.
Cheers,
John
