Currently Playing: ACU-ARC Ruler Review / HowTo

The ACU-ARC Ruler, invented in the 1950s. I'm not sure how old mine is. An instrument for drawing and measuring arcs of circles with specific radius of curvature. Invented by James E Hoyle, manufactured by Hoyle Engineering Company. This is episode 72 of my video series about old calculating devices. End song inspired by "Hotter than a Molotov" by The Coup.
