Than you can start to move with the wider screw (via rail) on the scale up and down to the scale mark of your choice. Than you need to tighten the thinner screw and you can start to work. One side will be sample of original distance, the opposite side will be the chosen proportion. There are two scale marks: 1st is for the lines (přímky) and the second for the circles (kruhy).
