TM  9-243 TYPES AND USES Dividers are instruments used for measuring distances between  two  points,  transferring  or  comparing  mea- surements directly from a rule, or for scribing an arc, radius, or circle. SPRING  DIVIDER A spring divider consists of two sharp points at the end of straight legs, held apart by a spring and adjusted by means of a screw and nut. The spring divider is available in sizes from 3 to 10 inches in length. WING  DIVIDER A wing-type divider has a steel bar that separates the legs, a lock nut for setting a rough measurement, and an adjustment screw for fine adjustments. The wing-type divider is available in 6, 8, and 12 inch lengths. Also available is a divider with one removable leg, so that a pencil may be inserted. 5-2
