Abstract
The proportional divider is a simple mathematical instrument which has been in constant use since its invention about 400 years ago. It is an interesting fact, also, that its design has remained relatively unchanged during the entire time. Figure 1 shows a proportional divider as it appeared in a book dated 1727,1 and Figure 2 shows the divider as it appears in a modern catalog of drawing instruments.2
