These are usually made of metal. The legs are connected together at the top by a hinge, allowing them to move flexibly. Compasses also have a crossbar at the upper end where the legs meet with opposite-running threads. Compasses with a spindle guide have a wheel in the centre that can be adjusted with one hand. You can turn this in different directions to spread or close the legs. This allows you to quickly and easily adjust the compass to the desired position.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere is also a needle at the bottom of one leg to secure the compass to a surface. At the end of the other leg, there is a replaceable lead for drawing circles or segments on paper. There are also models with an adapter for attaching a short pencil instead of the integrated lead. If you secure one leg to a surface, you can then determine the radius of a circle by setting the distance of the second leg.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains 1 School compass with lead part, universal adapter and lead box in case with hinged lid\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrecision compass for first circle-drawing exercises at school\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWith blunt safety needle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaximum circle diameter approx. 300mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLength 124mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Staedtler Technical Pens and Drawing accessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on its unrivalled heritage in the field of technical drawing, Staedtler advanced precision instruments are used in schools, universities and offices throughout the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComplementing this collection is a comprehensive range of accessories, including drawing boards, compasses, rulers, set squares and lettering guides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFunctional design coupled with exceptional technical finesse make the range indispensable wherever accuracy is required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Staedtler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53206648914283,"sku":"SR550 60","price":12.58,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/2795\/8891\/files\/550600001.eps.703160.1.ORG__97371__42505.1572035163.500.750.jpg?v=1778466718","url":"https:\/\/megaofficesupplies.com.au\/products\/staedtler-550-60-noris-club-school-compass-with-hinged-leg","provider":"Mega Office Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
