Chris Staecker | ACU-ARC Ruler Review / HowTo @ChrisStaecker | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 9 minutes ago.
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.
