@_thegeoff I have a Starret 359 Universal Bevel Vernier Protractor from the early 1920s. It's one of my favorite possessions. Partially because of its ridiculous accuracy that I can trust, and partially because it's a wonderful example of an elegant, and simple solution to a really hard problem.
I feel like, as a society, we've forgotten (or never learned) to value elegantly simple solutions to problems.
