This is a 2:1 proportional caliper. If you set the larger end to a distance, flipping it over will yield exactly half that distance between the other two points.
That's it!
I was drawing Voronoi diagrams and I didn't want to mess with a bunch of compass constructions to find the midpoint of so many lines.
You could also use it for taking measurements when drawing from life, but you're stuck with the 2:1 proportion.
If you want to change the proportion you need to change the locati
