Museum of Obsolete Drafting Technology

[hellsangle]

One of my client's architect has created the on-line Museum of Obsolete Drafting Technology.

(Where was that ink bottle holder when I was drafting?!!!! Really kewl stuff.)

Cadd kids have no idea of laying ink onto linen. Or how to short-shrift the life of your rapidographs when you ink on mylar.

My old friend, Nino, who was the surrealist cartoonist for the CalSurveyor . . . when he was a young man in school during the war (1940s) he had to cut his own crow quills from actual feathers in order to do his schoolwork! I believe that is the reason his artwork is so intense & detailed.

Now wash your hands and put the seat down.

Yep. It's crazier-Phil-now-that-he's-holed-up-in-house - Surveyor to Recorder!

WOW, that's a Gold Mine! thanks

As to ink on linen... only the most skilled were permitted.
Linen was Damned expensive and a noob could hole or otherwise destroy many days of work.

Surveyor To Recorder... the Logical method

That is why I eventually sprung for a set of jewel tips. Mylar ate the steel ones up fast.

Ahhhh the jeweled tipped! Forgot all about 'em!

[Mr. Smith]

How many gallons of ink have I deposited on my tongue?
and the tennis elbow from shaking the ink pen.

WOW. Very cool. Anyone out there ever spill any ink?

I did.

[Peter Ehlert]

WOW. Very cool. Anyone out there ever spill any ink?

I did.

yep, many times. ...but Not on a drawing.

Like the ashtray, the ink was kept below the drawing area. A least that was how I was taught.

Never on a map. The carpet below the desk looked pretty ugly.
