  • töö- ja mõõteriist, mida kasutatakse 90° nurga märgistamiseks ja viitamiseks, kuigi neid mõõteriistu kasutatakse ka 45° nurgaga
  • tool used for marking and referencing a 90° angle, though mitre squares are used for 45° angles
vinkel preferred
Usage examples
  • Vinkel koosneb kahest põhiosast, terast talast ja toetuskeelest, mis on kinnitatud kokku 90° juures, et moodustuks L-kujuline mõõtevahend.

try square preferred
Usage examples
  • A try square is made of two key parts, the blade (also known as a beam or tongue) and the stock, which are fixed together at 90° to form an "L" shape.

Jaakobi kepp
Usage examples
  • Jaakobi kepp on pikkusühikutes gradueeritud kepp või latt, mille külge on liikuvana risti kinnitatud väiksem latt. Jaakobi kepi kõige lihtsam kasutusviis on hinnata objekti kõrgust ja nurka vaatleja suhtes. Enamik selliseid keppe on siiski keerukamad, sisaldades mitmesuguseid mõõte- ja stabiliseerimisvahendeid. Kaks levinumat kasutusvaldkonda olid: astronoomia ja navigatsioon, kus seda kasutati lihtsa nurgamõõteriistana, mille hiljem asendasid täpsemad sekstandid, ning maamõõtmisel.
Jacob's staff former
Usage examples
  • A Jacob's staff is a stick or pole with length markings, often with a smaller segment attached perpendicularly. The simplest use of a Jacob's staff is to make qualitative judgements of the height and angle of an object relative to the user of the staff. Most staffs are much more complicated than that, and usually contain a number of measurement and stabilization features. The two most frequent uses are: in astronomy and navigation for a simple device to measure angles, later replaced by the more precise sextants.
