I loathe to come across students struggling to move a twosome of compasses together with I real much promise that the thaMographe volition ane twenty-four lx minutes menstruum endure widely used yesteryear schoolhouse children. It is for certain tardily to move together with accurate plenty for schoolhouse degree mathematics - every bit demonstrated yesteryear my quick perpendicular bisector:

Ed Southall has written a thorough review of the thaMographe here.
