Good morning all, can't think of any special I do with it Jim, on a small
chart table it seems handier than two bigger 45's.  I got used to using it a
*few* years ago when I did drafting work - picked up extra money doing inked
schematics & graphs for grad students' PhD thesis at PSU - I am I dating
myself or what?

I use it for smaller work like NMT & NLT danger bearing lines.  Certainly
nothing you can't use regular triangles or parallel rulers for.  Just a
personal preference.  One suggestion would be to get the colored plastic
though, I have a hard time keeping track of the little clear fella sometimes
(and the big ones too) lying on the chart.

Take care all
Paul

I do the same -- the reason I asked the question was the 3-inch size of
Paul's triangles.  I couldn't see how such small size would be useful.
I was wondering if I'd missed some new trick.

BTW, I forgot one additional item in my kit, the stop watch.
