  • Oppose Marginal, but this thing has a cultural significance within the popular history UK schools akin to satchels and lunchboxes. I'd like to see historical coverage of it expanded. Have the included instruments changed?
Besides which, Mathematical instrument is a huge topic that goes back to the ancient Geeks. Merging to "school drawing instrument set" might be more reasonable, if we had one. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:53, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, perhaps we should refactor "mathematical instruments" to take out the whole text of the Oxford set description and refer to it as an example of educational sets of mathematical instruments. But then this article has virtually no content and I'm nt going to research 5000 years of math history. --Wtshymanski (talk) 13:13, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
