Compass​

Who remembers this tool used in Geometry? That subject was a nightmare for many kids back then, and this little instrument of extreme torture played a starring role! Do you still remember how to use it or get the sum of the angles? Did it have practical applications beyond tormenting you in the classroom? Share your memories on our forum here.
