Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Gradian" in English language version.
The term "Celsius" was adopted instead of the more familiar "centigrade" because in France the word centigrade has customarily been applied to angles.
On most scientific calculators, this [the unit for angles] is set by the DRG key
The angle through which the torsion-head must be deflected was measured in centesimal divisions of the circle
Scientific calculators commonly have two modes for working with angles – degrees and radians

It hung on a ribbon torsion element with a knob on top, graduated in 100 parts.
