A better Compass

    Thought I might put in my input for a compass I found recently. As some of
    you know, I work with students with a variety of abilities, including those
    who have physical limitations. So, finding a tool that can be independently
    manipulated is beneficial for me and my students. The Circle Ruler by C.F.M.
    Group LTD. reminds me a little of the spirograph device I had as a child.
    The person puts a pencil (it needs to be sharp) into one of the small holes
    (they are numbered) and simply follows the path, with the ball bearings
    helping create a very precise circle. It can create 120 circle diameters.
    Even students with more limited physical ability could operate this
    successfully.
