proportional dividers [prə′pȯr·shən·əl di′vīd·ərz]
A drafting instrument used in reducing or enlarging drawings; consists of two legs whose ends are pointed and cross each other (like the letter X) at a pivot point whose position can be adjusted; the distance between the two pointed ends on one side of the pivot is proportional to the distance between the pointed ends on the opposite side.
(design engineering)
Dividers with two legs, pointed at both ends, and an adjustable pivot; distances measured by the points at one end can be marked off in proportion by the points at the other end.
