Compass and attachments — modern comparison

فرجار وملحقاته — مقارنة حديثة

Adjustable compass, not Abu al-Wafa's tool; holding an opening is a construction constraint, not a claim about this mechanism 1.

Depth

At a glance

Open modern black-and-metal drafting compass with two detached attachments on pale ground; not an archaeological or certified fixed-opening tool.
