The instrument or pen used in mechanical drawing, with a ruler or straight edge for inking-in straight lines, is a Bow-pen ; when one leg of a compass is replaced by a bow-pen we have a Bow-compass, which is used for inking-in circles. The bowcompass is often called simply a Bow, and the bow-pen simply a Drawing-pen.
