Description

This is a military protractor – differing from the one in your school maths set in that this one is calibrated in Mils, rather than degrees. On this scale, a circle is divided into 6,400 mils, with:

  • North = 0 mils

  • East = 1,600

  • South = 3,200

  • West = 4,800

Using the military protractor, a bearing can be plotted from one point to another in order to determine the azimuth, or bearing. This tool has a useful thread attached to the cross hairs of the protractor, to assist in the determining of azimuth.

Romer scales are included for maps at:

  • 1:25,000

  • 1:50,000

  • 1:100,000

The slight blue hue of the protractor in the photograph is caused by a protective film over the protractor – the actual tool is made from clear perspex.

The protractor measures 15.2 x 9.5cm.
