Check out this SketchUp model

Sorry @Duane
I gotta call BS on this one. Tools (whether good or not) become defunct when their utility is supplanted by a more innovative instrument. This is generally a common occurrence nowadays as technological advances impact our lives continually. I daresay that, with the notable exception of the pencil, just about every tool in Wright’s repertoire is no longer in use to any significant degree. Hardly any architect, engineer or draftsperson still uses a tee square, triangles, beam compass, protractor, drafting scales, erasers. pen, ink, or vellum today.

It’s Frank LLOYD Wright by the way.

Does anybody remember this drafting product?

Or its companion in a pad?

Oh, yes. Now I do…
I have to throw this in: Linjalblocket pat. 104906.
Have it in my “museum”



(Sorry about the pictures bad quality…)

If I still use it?
Once in a while, yes. For taking quick notes. Not accurate drawing.
-It holds on to the paper in windy, difficult conditions.
Bit annoying though that the standard-holes in the paper don’t fit! :wink:

Sure. We used to call them “bunny bags.” In addition to using them to keep our drawings smudge-free, we would also throw them at each other’s heads.

More appropriately, we called 'em “scumbags” and while working as an architectural intern many years ago, my coworkers also took great delight in tossing them around the office (with somebody’s head or backside as the primary target).
