Vintage Drafting Compass Illustration - Technical Drawing Tool #3700747 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line illustration depicts a classic beam compass or drafting compass, featuring two long, tapered legs-one with a sharp point and the other likely holding a pencil or pen. The top joint includes a circular hinge with a central pivot and adjustment screws, while knurled thumbscrews near the middle allow fine-tuning of the radius. The style suggests a vintage technical manual or textbook diagram, emphasizing functional clarity over artistic flourish.
