Abstract
A device for measuring physical characteristics includes a beam generator component generating first and second beams at two points. The device further includes a protractor that measures the angle between the beams. The device measures the distances to the two points and with the angle between the two beams, determines a predetermined characteristic, such as the distance between the two points.
