Talk:Trammel points

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, I just finished this article recently. After I finished another article on the scribe-compass, I noticed a section on beam-compass. This is all under the article Compass (drafting). I discovered that the trammel points are just another version of the beam-compass. However there is just limited information on the beam-compass in the article. I am not sure about whether this article shoud remain here or merge with the compass-drafting. The problem I have with the merge is if ie John Doe is searching for info on the Trammel points he is sent to scribe compass and has to scroll down a ways to actually see Trammel points. The problem is that the bigger the article becomes it is like looking for a needle in a haystack for someone unfamiliar with Wiki. This is also true with redirects. Eventually I can see a person searching for something and just giving up. I am admitedly am new to this and maybe missing something but am open to advise. --Johnalden 22:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
