        Description: |  
| The nature of my invention consists in applying to an angle of ninety degrees, made of iron or any other suitable material, of the proper form, a movable tongue, of an L-form, which shall be attached to the angle by a bolt and thumb-nut, in such a way that it will divide the angle exactly in the centre, thus making a tool, which can be used for making a longitudinal line on shafting or anything of a like form, or for centring shafting or circular disks, and also as an inside or an outside square. |
