28 23 January 2007 UTC Hi I recently did the scribe compass article In Carpentry this gadget is called scribes at least in part of New England This may vary in other parts of the country Basically it is primarily used to trace or scribe since the pointed branch is so flat I think the correct name comes down to being a prescriptioist or a descriptionist of words I am new at this so I am open to suggestions about the proper location 01
