An acial. The club is an instrument of a long span made up of two strong toothed clubs or two iron bars joined at one end by one hinge and in the other by a string that is tightened at will after to have taken between two sticks the upper lip of a beast, in order to hold it so that it is allowed to be sheared, sheared or to do something else to which the beast resists. Image Acial Compass A two-piece iron instrument 12 to 30 inches long is called a bar compass, joined at one end by a hinge so that it can move: one of the free ends has an oval link. and the other, which ends in flat, has a sort of graduated ladder. It is also composed of two round poles joined by an iron ring at one of its ends, cut in a bevel; the opposite ends are round and are approached by means of a fixed rope in one of them.
