I meant compass...though I've seen both protractor and compass since high
school (for me freshman year was 1961) since I have three kids. Check out
this website...I'm happy to find it cause I never studied it in high school
or maybe I just forgot, which is likely, and it's fascinating. Anyway, I'm
gonna buy a compass, or find one in the catch all drawer.

Here's a real simple one...great for explaining to my teenager who'd never
studied it.
