Been reading on the 'Early Aviation' Forum about rigging bi-planes. It seems 'dividers' can be used to determine the length a piece of rigging needs to be. So does anyone know where one can find 'dividers'? What kind of store? Help!

Hope this is in the correct forum? Wasn't sure.

Thanks Kelly and Terri! I'm off in the morning to either Office Depot or Staples. I think I've found something that will work for under $20.

Follow-up:
Went to Office Depot this morning and bought a compass set for $14. Along with the compass, which I didn't need, came a 5 1/2" metal divider. Should work just fine for the 1/48th kits I've recently purchased.
