Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Course in Elementary Mechanical Drawing Each Student will require the following Instruments on beginning the course, viz.: - Half-a-dozen Sheets of Drawing Paper, a Drawing-board, a T-square, a Pair of Triangles, a Hard Pencil, a Right Line Pen, a Pair of Compasses with Pen, Pencil and Needle Points, a Pair of Plain Dividers, an accurate and finely divided Scale, a piece of India Ink, a Rubber, an Irregular Curve, and half-a-dozen Thumb-tacks. These instruments and materials are all that are absolutely required up to the time of commencing tinting and shading, when a few other articles will be needed, which will be spoken of in their proper place. Before purchasing, the following directions about the different instruments and materials should be noticed. Paper. For all the drawings of this course, use Whatman's Imperial drawing paper. It comes in sheets of convenient size, and is well adapted to the work of the course. Six sheets will be enough up to the time of tinting. Drawing-Board. Great care should be taken to secure a good drawing-board. The best boards are those made of thoroughly seasoned white pine, one inch thick, with cleats at the ends flush with the surface of the board. The most convenient size is twenty-three by thirty-one inches. This gives a small margin outside of a whole sheet of Imperial paper, which is twenty-two by thirty-inches.
