Please note the hair styles and the less than PC nature of the portrayal of the 'draftsperson' (sorry about the quality of the video as it was converted from a 36 year old 16mm marketing film that was found when they were cleaning out a storage closet at work and I managed to snag it before it was tossed). When handheld calculators came out, at first they bought a couple for people to share, but that didn't last long as most of us eventually got our own as the prices started to drop (I waited until I was able to get a Texas Instrument for under $100).ДЇor those of us who can remember living through the transition from the drawing board to the CAD station (it's like the old adage that if you remember the 60's, you weren't actually there) you might enjoy this marketing film which shows you what CAD was like back in 1977 when the company I worked for bought their first system, and yes, the system you see in the film was the one we bought. Now the company provided the design office with a couple of Friden calculators but we all had our own slide rules. Now the company provided all of our consumables like ink, drawing pencils and lead for our mechanical pencils, erasers and such, but anything that was a tool, we were responsible for supplying ourselves. When I was working as a draftsman and later as an machine designer on the board (before CAD), at least once a year, the chief draftsman would arrange for someone to come in from our local drafting supply company and he would give each of us a modest amount of credit toward buying supplies, maybe $20 or so, but this was back in the 60's and 70's, so for $20, you could stock up on a lot of stuff. I've got a couple of eraser shields and several circle and ellipse templates. Even my drawing table brush, that I use on my workbench in the garage. In addition to my old drafting machine and the couple of scales that I still have, I also still have my original drafting set from high school and of course, my Slide Rule. RE: Drafting Machine Components RPMG (Structural)ДЄh yes, the Leroy Lettering set.

It's been 30 years since one of these was a daily driver for me. At least I don't recall ever thinking such a thing was required.ДЎ1 - On the ones I used there was an eccentric axle for one of the wheels opposed by a spring loaded wheel that was adjusted to set the vertical travel to be perpendicular to the horizontal travel.

There usually was a vernier to get to tenths of a degree.ДЁ - I recall that if it is pressed and pushed up or down it would either a) allow free rotation, b) latch into detents at useful angles.Д© - not sure, but I doubt it's a memory device. Probably was not left in the locked position and, because it is not spring applied, one can lean on it to make it work even if the rubber has hardened.ДҐ - this is to lock the rotation in any orientation. The ones I used that lever was in a fixed location maybe this design travels with the drafting head.ДЈ - Similar to the horizontal brake, for the vertical direction. As you mention for #11 if this design used some 'string' and that failed then that could also be a problem. I'd guess the rubber is either gone, worn out, or most likely as hard as a rock and was left engaged so it has a track-shaped dent where the elasticity used to be. It should be connected to a rod that goes all the way to the top and operates a toggle to bring a rubber pad into contact with the main track.
