A drawing compass is an instrument to draw perfectly round circles. It consists of two movable arms which are hinged together at the end of the arms. When the arms are opened slightly, the circle will be small. Another use for a drawing compass is to measure distance, when the length of the two arms and the angle of the arms is known.
