To this class belong the sector (which generally forms part of a case of mathematical instruments); Gunter'reach parts not so readily approached by the ordinary monkey-wrench. It has two jaws of different angles, and an adjusting screw in the stock. In Fig. 6139, the respective pairs of jaws are operated by a right and left screw and thumb-piece. Scales are placed on the respective halves, which have a motion on each other, each piece having an inner and outer jaw of the respective pairs. S-wrench. Sym′bol-print′ing. (Telegraphy.)
