Measurer (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

ruler

meter

(Other definitions for ruler that I've seen before include "It helps to draw straight lines" , "Sovereign - support for a firm line!" , "Monarch - straightedge" , "king perhaps" , "Measuring strip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Guardian.
