How should the Square and Compasses be positioned on the Holy Bible when it is open?

The Square is properly positioned when its inner edges intersect the Compasses in about the middle of each pointed leg and the extreme points of the Compasses are clearly visible. They should be situated on an area of the Holy Bible where they can sit flat without any danger that they might slide out of their arrangement, which is almost never across the central gutter dividing the two pages from one another. Whenever possible, the Square and Compasses should not obscure the Scripture Lesson of the Degree.
