In geometry , a protractor is a circular or semicircular tool for measuring an angle or a circle . The units of measurement utilized are usually degree angle degree s. Some protractors are simple half discs these have existed since ancient times. More advanced protractors, such as the Bevel Protractor have one or two swinging arms, which can be used to help measure the angle. Bevel protractor A bevel protractor is a graduated circular protractor having a pivoted arm used for measuring or marking off angles. Sometimes vernier scale s are attached to give more precise readings.

The 45 angle is used commonly in creating miter joint s.

The rest of the workpiece is measured from the face side with the next surface being the face edge. Measuring the center of a circular bar or dowel . The rule is assembled through the center of the center square, the two cast iron legs of the center square are then placed against the outside of the bar dowel allowing a center line to be scribed alongside the ruler. Perform this action at two locations and the intersecting lines will approximate the center of the bar dowel . Protractor head allows angles to be set and measured between the base and ruler.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Image Reglas.svg thumb 250px triangle, set square A set square or triangle American English is an object used in engineering and technical drawing , with the aim of providing a straightedge at a right angle or other particular planar angle to a baseline . The most simple form of set square is a triangular piece of transparent plastic or formerly of polished wood with the centre removed. More commonly the set square combines this with a ruler and a half circle protractor , as in the picture. The outer edges are typically bevel led. These set squares come in two usual forms, both right triangle s one with 90 45 45 degree angles, the other with 30 60 90 degree angles. Combining the two forms by placing the hypotenuses together will also yield 15 and 75 angles. They are often purchased in packs with protractor s and Compass drafting compasses . Less commonly found is the adjustable set square. Here, the body of the object is cut in half and rejoined with a hinge marked with angles.

Consequently, most thumb compasses have minimal or no degree markings at all, and are normally used only to orient the map to magnetic north. Thumb compasses are also often transparency optics transparent so that an orienteer can hold a map in the hand with the compass and see the map through the compass. Thumb compasses attach to one s thumb using a small elastomer elastic band.

Biography Grillet came from Rouen in northwestern France, the capital city of Normandy . He served as watchmaker to King Louis XIV . In 1673 Grillet published a small book, Curiositez mathematiques de l invention du Sr Grillet horlogeur a Paris , in which he announced the invention of an arithmetical calculating machine. A few years later, in 1678, he wrote a short article in Le Journal des S avans describing the machine. According to Grillet, he was inspired by Blaise Pascal s work with calculating machines to combine the Pascaline with Napier s bones , and build a machine that could perform both addition and multiplication. Grillet displayed his machine at fairs in France and the Netherlands between 1673 and 1681. He tried to establish a business of manufacturing and selling calculating machines, with unclear success. In addition to the calculating machine, in his career Grillet invented a hygrometer for which he was accused of plagiarism by another inventor graphometer s drawing instrument set protractor , set square , with plumb bob .

In 1932, George David Birkhoff G. D. Birkhoff created a set of four postulate s of Euclidean geometry sometimes referred to as Birkhoff s axioms . These postulates are all based on basic geometry that can be confirmed experimentally with a scale and protractor . Since the postulates build upon the real number s, the approach is similar to a model theory model based introduction to Euclidean geometry. Other often used axiomizations of plane geometry are Hilbert s axioms and Tarski s axioms . Birkhoff s axiom system was utilized in the secondary school text Basic Geometry first edition, 1940 see References . Postulates Postulate I Postulate of Line Measure .

unsourced date September 2010 Range of motion or ROM , is the distance linear or angular that a movable object may normally travel while properly attached to another object. It is also called range of travel , particularly when talking about mechanical devices and in mechanical engineering fields. For example, a sound level volume Control knob knob a rotation rotary fader may have a 300 range of travel from the off or mute d fully attenuate d position at lower left, going clockwise to its full scale maximum loudness position at lower right. As used in the biomedical and Powerlifting weightlifting communities, range of motion refers to the distance and direction a joint can move between the flexed position and the extended position. The act of attempting to increase this distance through therapeutic exercises range of motion therapy stretching from flexion to extension for physiological gain is also sometimes called range of motion. Measuring range of motion Each specific joint has a normal range of motion that is expressed in degrees. Devices to measure range of motion in the joints of the body include the goniometer and inclinometer which use a stationary arm, protractor, fulcrum, and movement arm to measure angle from axis of the joint. As measurement results will vary by the degree of resistance, two levels of range of motion results are recorded in most cases. Limited range of motion Limited range of motion refers to a joint that has a reduction in its ability to move. The reduced motion may be a mechanical problem with the specific joint or it may be caused by injury or diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other types of arthritis. Pain, swelling, and stiffness associated with arthritis can limit the range of motion of a particular joint and impair function and the ability to perform usual daily activities. Range of motion exercises Physical therapy can help to improve joint function by focusing on range of motion exercises. The goal of the ... more details

Orphan date February 2009 A Topographic Abney Level is an instrument used in surveying which consists of a fixed sighting tube, a movable spirit level that is connected to a pointing arm, and a protractor scale. The Topographic Abney Level is an easy to use, relatively inexpensive, and when used correctly an accurate surveying tool. The Topographic Abney Level is used to measure degrees, percent of grade, topographic elevation, and chainage correction. By using trigonometry the user of a Topographic Abney Level can determine height, volume, and grade. The Topographic Abney Level is used at the eye height of the surveying surveyor and is best employed when teamed with a second surveyor of the same eye height. This allows for easy sighting of the level and greater accuracy. A ranging pole can be marked at the eye height of the level user or the approximate location of the eye height i.e. chin, nose, top of head of the level surveyor must be know of the ranging surveyor. Origins The Abney level was invented by Sir William de Wiveleslie Abney Born 24 Jul 1843 Died 3 Dec 1920 who was an English astronomer and chemist best known for his pioneering of color photography and color vision. Sir Abney invented this instrument under the employment of the School of Military Engineering in Chatham, England in the 1870s. It is described by W. & L. E. Gurley as an English modification of the Locke hand level, noting that it gives angles of elevation and is also divided for slopes, as 1 to 2, 2 to 1, etc. Since the main tube of this instrument is square, it can be applied to any plane surface. The clinometer scale is graduated to degrees, and read by vernier to 5 minutes. Usage Use of an Abney level is discussed in volume 12 of the Forest Quarterly sup 1 sup published by the New York State College of Forestry in 1914. Discussion on the use of the Abney level starts on page 370. References references Bryn Hubbard, Neil F. 2005 , Glasser Field Techniques in Glaciology and Glacial Geomo ... more details
