Bill,
One way is to use a pair of dividers. Set the distance between the
points to something a bit over the circle's radius. From four points
approximately 90 degrees apart on the circles circumference, sweep
small arcs close to where you estimate the center to be. Be sure
that each small arc intersects the two which are adjacent to it.
Now draw lines through the arc intersections which are diametrically
opposed to each other. The intersection of these two lines is the
center of the circle.
Hope this is clear enough.
