Frequently Asked Questions
What are brass chart dividers used for?
Brass chart dividers are used by navigators to measure distances and plot courses on nautical charts. They help in comparing scales and ensuring accurate route planning.
Why are the points made of steel?
The steel points provide a sharp, durable tip that maintains precision and stays true on chart paper. Brass is used for the body for corrosion resistance and weight.
Can these dividers be used for other marine tasks?
Yes, in addition to chart work, they can be used for general measuring tasks aboard a vessel, such as checking clearances or marking dimensions on technical drawings.
How do I maintain the dividers?
Keep the points clean and lightly oil the friction mechanism occasionally. Store in a dry place to preserve the brass finish.
