Two stones are attached with rubber bands. The back stone faces the gouge to the front to give the front stone stability.
At the top you put something (like a coin here) in between the stone and measure the angle with an angle locator like this:

Another method is to put the safety rod under the sharp maker and to tilt it in either direction,

The Spyderco safety rod changes the angle by 2,5 degrees per side.
On this page (in German, translate with Chrome) is also a calculator to calculate how thick the rod has to be for any given angle:
