Add to album

This pair of dividers, also known as a pair of compasses, were made in Europe in the 18th century. They are unsigned.

The dividers have an iron hinge pin and iron washers.

Dividers were used in chart-work for pricking out a course, or measuring out distances on a chart against the calibrations of linear measurement on the Mercator latitude scales found on sectors.
