SCALE METHOD ON DRAFTING.
For this system of drafting we are using a simplifd divisional scale. This scale is not sold to non- pupils, therefore, I have prepared a table of all kinds of divisions which will fulfill the requirements of time saving. The system of drafting in these pages is explained both ways, scale method and inch method. I shall explain the differents of scale method & inch method, scale method is called the divisional way of drafting as to follow 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, of size or any other division, this is followed on the scale, and without the scale we use the inches which amounts to 2 1/4 — 4 1/2 — or 9 inches on 36 size, or more or less for any other sizes. I am also showing and explaining in the instruction both ways as I mention the amounts 1/6 of size or 3 inches, 1/3 of size or 6 inches. The division is followed by the half size, when I say 1/6 or 1/8 of 36 this means 1/6 or 1/8 of 18 inches.
