A Plain Brass Straight Nautical Divider (with 2 dry points), is used to measure a distance between two points on a map. Both feet are brought to the two points whose distance is measured. The opening between the feet is then checked on a separate ruler then converted into real distance, or managed directly on a scale drawn on the map. On a nautical chart, distance is often measured on the latitude scale shown on the sides of the map.
