drafting instrument for drawing arcs and multiplying distances
A compass is a tool used to draw circles and arcs by pivoting one pointed leg around a fixed center while a pencil or marking tool traces the curve. It's useful in geometry, drafting, and engineering because it allows you to accurately reproduce and transfer distances from one place to another.
