My Dad always had one of those that he used all the time.   Called it his "folding rule"  What is it's purpose?  Is it better for some uses than a measuring tape, or was it developed before the retractable measuring tapes were?

Definitely better for taking an inside measurement, than a tape.  Most also have a extendable section, at one end, for just that purpose...

Also has been around a lot longer than tapes, but don't know the exact history...

Here's a bit, from the Smithsonian, on the older boxwood rules, mainly used for box and cabinet work....

The folding ruler is more accurate than a tape, that is ruler to ruler. Doesn't mean you can't measure accurately, but they just don't agree with one another, where as to ruler does. Guess it depends on what country it's built in. Hmmm?

when I worked construction, one day I was down doing thesawing for the guys up on the walls. they'd yell down the measurements and I saw them and send them up. the boss was up there and called some measurements down, I sawed it and sent it up, he threw it back at me saying I mis-sawed it. yelled at me the measurements again, I again sawed it and again he threw it back at me yelling and cussing. it wasn't until the owner of the company grabbed both our tape measures and compared them, we found that they were the problem. both were Stanley's, mine was made in the USA many many years ago, and the other was the china breed. the inches weren't the same. next day the owner came with all new tape measures from another company...but at least they all read the same!
