OK, the ultimate answer:
"10 degrees is just that". So if understood then so be it.
Pull out a protractor.... measure 10 degrees offset. Move protractor 1 degree forward along the line and once again measure 10 degrees forward offset.
Call me when you get through the curve...
Second option..... get the garden hose out and ball park it....

Sorry, GG, using the protractor would depend on the diameter of the protractor... besides, how "LONG" is a degree (that one you said to move the protractor forward)?
But I agree... get out the garden hose and ballpark it.
Then again, the first time I layed out mine, I used graph paper scaled to 1/4-inch to the Foot and drew it with my highschool drafting class compass. Then I gave up on that and drew it using my computer and Microsoft's PAINT program (the freebie with Winders) scaled to 1 pixel per inch, but I had to set the display to 1040x680 to get it to fit all at one time on the screen.
Semper, you kill me with your wit...
OK, the diameter is a function of the square root of the radius multiplied by the abismus of the cosyn of the radius. As such the length of the length of the degree is relative to the perspective of the protractor.
Get my point? Think switches and misguided ones....
Clearly demonstrated is the lack of abismus of the cosyn of the radius...
