While playing around building trains, it occurred to me that one link of curved track was a nice, everyday representation of radians, as each link is one-eighth of a full circle.

Lovely! I may have to go up to the attic before my next ProRadian Protractor presentation. Thanks for the idea.

This photo is a great starting point to make an animation to illustrate the pi/4 turn.
