Optical Square Metal
Product Code : JA-MLK-1924
The Optical Square Metal (SKU JA-MLK-1924) is a surveying instrument with a metal body, used in field activities to draw parallel lines on the ground. By sighting two directions at once, an optical square sets out a line at right angles to a survey line, and two such perpendiculars give parallel lines. In a school or college maths lab it turns ideas about perpendicular and parallel lines into practical outdoor work. JaincoLab makes this optical square for surveying and measurement activities.
