Ok

These things are not produced today? This was a very high quality production product. I found it at a second hand store for $10.00.

I think the Egyptians may have used one of them.

No kidding. Some of the tools used by the Egyptians (and others) were quite amazing. Simple things like a plumb bob used to set fence posts.

Thank you, Beeg. You just reminded me that I need to solicit some help from one of the grand kids. I need one of them to bring their cell phone or android or whatever with its GPS and locate my property corners.

I know the coordinates for each of the corners.

I have a GPS kit in a suitcase that would do the job except that it weights about thirty pounds and requires 110vac.

OK, I'll bite. How? I presume that using a square would be cheating.

Not really! But the thing used needs to be calibrated with a square.

(or something close and split the difference)
