Parallel rulers
open-in-new
<p>Parallel rulers are a <a href="/facts/Technical_drawing/WtTmaUwL">drafting</a> instrument used by navigators to draw parallel lines on charts. The tool consists of two straight edges joined by two arms which allow them to move closer or further away while always remaining parallel to each other. </p>
