Several years ago, I walked by one of the solar powered radar sets that shows 
you your speed on a pair of big 7 segment displays.  It was clicking as the 
displayed speed changed so I stopped to look at it.

The segments rotate about the long axis.

So think of flipping the ruler segments over rather than folding them.
