You generally cannot read 0.126 mm on a ruler. You would be lucky to be able to resolve 0.2 or possibly 0.1, but not 0.126. Even if you could, and its true that 0.126 is about 1/8, the standard for accuracy in a measuring device is ± one half of a minor division - that is ± 0.5 mm, so a reading of 0.126 mm is meaningless, unless you had a much finer lined ruler and a microscope.
Clock is to time as ruler is to distance.
In the world of Drafting and Architecture, it is called a Scale.
A ruler

you read a ruler by conting the little lines first
by the numbers that are marked there
Yes!
A ruler or scale should not be read to less than the smallest graduation. In practice, in-between measurements can be estimated but they are not significant.
You look at the markings on its edge.
You could align the edge of the object with the zero on the ruler and then read off the marking on the ruler which aligned with the other end of the object.
To record measurements using a ruler, place the ruler next to the object to be measured. Ensure that the zero mark on the ruler aligns with one end of the object. Read the measurement where the other end of the object falls on the ruler and record it in the appropriate units.
To read .062 on a ruler in inches, you would first identify the smallest unit of measurement on the ruler. Typically, this would be 1/16 of an inch. Next, you would locate the closest mark to .062 on the ruler, which would likely be between the 1/16 and 1/32 marks. Finally, you would estimate the measurement based on the increments between the marks, taking into account the precision of the ruler.
