Orienting a red ball.
We see the surface ball, placed on the touch wand magnet. A guide wire is inserted into the hole in the ball.
Katy aligns the wire in two ways:
She aligns the wire radially ( usually, toward the mast ). She also aligns the wire to the tangent of that part of the curve of the surface.
Katy is eyeballing these two alignments- a tricky feat.
It may help to say that the radial alignment is most easily determined from a top view of the part; the tangent * alignment is most easily determined from a side view.
If you're browsing, the peculiar curly thing is the floating touch wand with multiple, flexible fingers with magnets on each tip. It is used with the long touch wand of the pantograph.

* The tangent line:
The tangent line of a wine glass:
I couldn't find any pictures of this, but a classic example of a tangent line is the invisible line where you stop filling a wine glass. The 'cut line' is the point where the outward curve at the bottom of the glass, turns 'flat' and starts to curve, back inward, toward the top.
Tangent on Wikipedia:
One of the wheels on a 1966 MGB GT (I uploaded a B&W shot of the car last week). They just don't make wheels like this anymore.
sometimes the largest, most equipped, specialized tool box just does not have what it takes for that little niggly job. this handy tool is always on hand and rarely disappoints.

Walking long distances across the camp fully clothed and nutritionally content was hard enough with a -5° C wind chill. Countless thousands would have walked these paths with a thin layer of cotton and barefoot.

The Wire-tailed Swallow (Hirundo smithii) is a small passerine bird in the swallow family. Swallows are somewhat similar in habits and appearance to other aerial insectivores, such as the related martins and the unrelated swifts (order Apodiformes).
Wire-tailed Swallow breeds in Africa south of the Sahara and in tropical southern Asia from the Indian subcontinent east to southeast Asia. It is mainly resident, but populations in Pakistan and northern India migrate further south in winter.
This bird is found in open country near water and human habitation. Wire-tailed Swallows are fast flyers and they generally feed on insects, especially flies, while airborne. They are typically seen low over water, with which they are more closely associated than most swallows.
The neat half-bowl nests are lined with mud collected in the swallows' beaks. They are placed on vertical surfaces near water under cliff ledges or more commonly on man-made structures such as buildings and bridges.
The clutch is three to four eggs in Africa, up to five in Asia (Turner and Rose). These birds are solitary and territorial nesters, unlike many swallows, which tend to be colonial.
This striking species is a small swallow at 14 cm in length. It has bright blue upperparts, except for a chestnut crown and white spots on the tail. The underparts are white, with darker flight feathers. There is a blue mask through the eye.
This species gets its name from the very long filamentous outermost tail feathers, which trail behind like two wires. Sexes manifest similar appearances, but the female has shorter "wires". Juveniles have a brown crown, back and tail. The Asian form, H. s. filifera, is larger and longer-tailed than the abundant African H. s. smithii.
I have never used this tool, but I believe it's used where a great deal of tension is intended, such as a wire "hose clamp".
