I found this weird ratio of 1:33 and one-third. I was wondering where does this scale ratio is most useful?

It is most useful when you want to show something at 1:33 1/3. I wouldn't use it when you actually want to use 1:5, 1:20 or 1:50, etc.

I found this scale ratio on a tri-scale , and upon searching online, found out that this ratio is indeed given in many tri scales. I thought there might be some specific scenarios where this ratio might be useful, else why would they provide such a weird ratio on a scale commercially in market?

It is a secret scale to be used only by those in the know. If you use it while incorporating the 'golden mean' in your drawing the earth will open up and demons released from pits below. You have been warned.

Is this some socialist scale type thing? My 'Murica brain can't comprehend things not done in 12ths or 16ths.
Wait, what were we talking about again?

it's bluff, there are no scales with 33 1/3.

I bet you could deflect a lot of errors by saying the contractor didn't extend the decimal place far enough. ;)

Sure, laugh it up. It's all giggles and fruit punch until the boots and helmets show up at your door.
