You measure the radius of the arc.
From the center of the pivot of the arm to the edge of the scale.

Hi Frank ~~

Thanks for your informative reply!

I wish I knew where one measures a sextant to find its size. If I did, I could 
figure out what percentage the small one is of a full-size sextant. What I 
did measure was from tip to tip of the scale. The full size Tamaya is 9 3/8", 
the International is 7 inches exactly.

The International currently 'feels' better than the full size Tamaya -- that one truly needs help.

Thanks again!
