Rules, a Printing term, are straight lines which print on the page; they are used at the heads of chapters and sometimes following the running titles of pages. The rules are made of brass [1] or cast [in typemetal] like the letters. The face [2] of the rule is simple, it consists of one line or a pair of lines or, sometimes in the form of quads [3] to enclose the whole page. [ see Quads] See the table of characters .
