Thanks so much.

and the reason you couldnt get it is that a set square doesnt draw angles - or at lease didnt in the sixties - and the correct answer is a "protractor"

see: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Compass-Square-Centimeter-Ruler-Protractor/dp/B008SCIEB4

but still its only a crossword

PP...the correct answer not fitting is no big deal for the crossword hierarchy....the wrong answer does fit.

[jackthehat]

A Protractor measures angles.....a set-square (fixed) is usually 30-60-90, or 45-90.....whereas an adjustable set-square can be altered to any desired angle.

That was niggling me too, Peter.

[Tilly2]

....actually, I think the answer is 'pencil'

\\\\Instrument for drawing angles\\\\....DRAWING.

JTH is correct.

[Peter Pedant]

Well boys and girls it is good to see rational discussion on a sunday morning !

[Tilly2]

You draw the angle with a pencil, though. (or a pen)

[jackthehat]

But that's not an instrument......and it doesn't satisfy the (-E- SQUARE) 3,6 information...

[Thecorn]

A pencil is an instrument for drawing So on its own couldn't set a angle Fin!

[Prudie]

You can draw an angle with a protractor (any angle) or set squares as JTH mentioned (only 30, 45,60,90 or multiples). A T-square is what you place on a drawing board to ensure a horizontal/vertical edge to rest your set squares etc against.

[Tilly2]

Nobody has mentioned a compass.

[FrogNog]

You use a compass to find direction.
