The Nautical Solid Brass Divider is a great addition to any desktop. Handcrafted from solid brass, this New Reproduction is a Brass/ Steel 9 in.

Traditionally, proportional dividers are used to increase or decrease the size of a project. For example, by using the 1:1.5 setting, you can accomplish a 50% increase or decrease in size, and the 1:2 setting will either reduce it by 1/2 or double it. This item is suitable for the average user, not the person wanting high accuracy like the expensive ones, and is often sold to schools where teaching with less expensive tools is important. These are handmade copies of the antique ones used many years ago.

Dividers are one of the most basic and useful types of mathematical instruments. They consist of a joint pair of legs, each with a sharp point, and can be used for geometrical operations such as scribing circles, as well as for taking off and transferring dimensions. Dividers are used by architects, engineers, draftsmen, builders, teachers, students, navigators, and artists who do a variety of geometry and designing tasks.

The Proportional Divider is a better solution for artists looking to achieve accuracy. By aligning the desired subject matter in the small end of the divider and transferring the spacing of the larger end to the drawing surface, users can achieve precise results. This detailed item measures approximately 9 inches Point To Point and 3/4 inch wide, making it a great addition to any home or office nautical decor.
