The Browning Bros. in Ogden Utah before Bennett discovered their single shot rifle- and their sign with Ammunition spelled with only one M- The compass and dividers date back to Archimedes I believe--The triangle is a for-runner of the "speed square" or smaller rafter square, with both sets of tables for common rafters (on the 12" leg run) and hip and jack rafters (on the 17" leg run)which was developed from the framing square (24" blade, 16" tongue developed around 1840 by a New England blacksmith-- I don't think Archimedes was a stone Mason, or a Carpenter or a Plumber, believe he was a Mathematician. Another "math whiz kid" from back then was Euripedes- he also held a part-time job as a Tailor (for extra schekels I should guess- His Tailor's Shop had a clever sign in a play on words based on his name- showed a pair of trousers torn- "Hey- You Rip-A-Dese, I mend-a-dem for a you--" Yes siree! I missed the one armed man- maybe a stand-in for Mike Conners and Da Fugitive??
