technical drawing, consisting of a pair of
scales mounted to form a right angle on an
articulated protractor head that allows an
angular rotation.
4. Set Squares
A drawing board is a kind of multipurpose
desk which can be used for any kind of
drawing, writing or impromptu sketching on
a large sheet of paper or for reading a large
format book or other oversized document or

etc., and as a support for triangles.
Protractor is used to mark or measure angles
between 0 and 180.

This is used to establish measurements. Inch
divided by 16 parts; an inch or portion of an
inch represents an inch (can be 3/4 size, 1/2
size 3/8 size or 1/4 size).
23. Civil Engineer's Scale
It is designed according to metric system
with meter as standard unit. ( 1 meter =
39.37 inches or 1 inch = 25.4 mm) Scales
are: 1:1(mm), 1:20, 1:33 1/3, 1:40, 1:50,
1:80, and 1:100.
26. Erasing Shield
It is used to establish measurements. Inch
divided by 10 parts; an inch to represent 10
feet or more (10, 20, 30, 40, 50).
24. Architect's Scale
Thin metal piece used to protect lines while
erasing.
27. Adjustable Triangle
A measuring wheel or measure wheel is
designed for measuring long distances. A
measurement wheel or distance measuring
wheel is perfect for construction, engineers,
architects, contractors, estimators, or any
long distance measuring job.
31. Parallel Straightedge
An adjustable triangle is used in school,
drawing or art purposes.
28. Calipers - Digital Caliper
A caliper or digital caliper is a measuring
device that is used to measure the distance
between two symmetrically opposing sides.
The parallel straightedge can be used as an
alternative to the T square.
32. Ruler
29. Drawing Templates and Drafting
Templates
Drawing templates and drafting templates
are used for art, hobbies, drawing, or
drafting purposes. These help us create some
shapes like circle, ellipses, and many more.
A ruler is perfect for school, drawing,
drafting, engineering, designing or art
purposes it guides us in making straight
lines.
33. Tape Measure
30. Measuring Wheel
The tape measure tool is primarily used to
measure distances between two points.
34. Small bow compass
This arrangement may provide a compact
combination of two needle pointed heads for
use as dividers for marking off distances, or
one pointed head and an ink or pencil head
for use as a compass.
38. Proportional Compasses
A small pair of compasses where the one leg
carries a pencil, pen, or point, and its legs
are being connected by a bow-shaped spring
instead of by a joint.
35. Mini Drafter
Have many useful scales engraved on its
legs and could be used for a variety of
purposes, including gunnery.
39. Beam Compasses
T-square, protractor and set squares can be
replaced by a drawing drafter. With this,
lines can be drawn at any desired angle.
36. Technical Pencil
It is commonly used to finalize a sketch.
A compass having adjustable legs, set
perpendicular to the paper and sliding along
a horizontal bar so as to permit the drawing
of large circles.
40. Pricker
37. Napier Compasses
It is used when transferring drawings from
one sheet of paper to another, by placing the
sheets over one another and pricking the
principal points through from the upper to
the lower sheet.
41. Indian ink

carbon particles used especially in drawing
and technical graphics.
42. Extension Bars
placed over the center point. The point of
the compass needle is then placed into the
hole in its center.
44. Dry transfer
Dry transfer decals can speed the production
of repetitive drawing elements such as
borders, title blocks, line types, shading, and
symbols. They were frequently used in
production of schematic drawings, maps,
and printed circuit board artwork, as
examples.
45. Ellipsograph
Extension bars are available for large bow
compasses to draw large diameter circles.
43. Compass Center Disk
An ellipsograph is a trammel of Archimedes
intended to draw, cut, or machine ellipses,
e.g. in wood or other sheet materials.
46. Pantographs
When many circles are drawn using the
same center, the compass needle may tend to
bore an oversized hole in the drawing. To
prevent these holes, use a device called a
horn center or center disk. This disk is
The original use of the pantograph was for
copying and scaling line drawings.
It is used to draw parallel and inclined lines.
51. Lead Sticks
47. Section Liners
These are used with compasses.
Its an instrument for drawing closely and,
most importantly, regularly spaced parallel
lines such as those used by mechanical
engineers and draughtsman to illustrate a
section through an item.
52. Sheet container
48. Pencil Sharpener
A sheet container is used to store and carry
drawing sheets.
Pencil sharpeners are essential for
sharpening pencils.
53. Sandpaper
49. Crayons
Crayons are versatile coloring instruments
that allow many creative possibilities.
Sandpapers are used to sharpen the pencil
lead and lead sticks.
54. Paper napkins or handkerchief
50. Roller Scale
These may be used to clean the drawing
sheet and drawing instruments frequently.
55. Flat spline
A spline or the more modern term flexible
curve consists of a long strip fixed in
position at a number of points used to draw
curves.
56. Thick draft paper
They allow you to draw different pretty
patterns.
59. Planimeter
It is a sandwich paper-like thin translucent
sheet. This paper wrinkles upon wetting.
Suitable for lead, and felt tipped pens, and
with limitations for technical pens.
57. Tracing tube
A planimeter, also known as a platometer, is
a measuring instrument used to determine
the area of an arbitrary two-dimensional
shape.
60. Tracer
This is a translucent plastic film, which is
usually of gray or a light khaki shade.
Common types are 0.05, 0.07 and 0.10 mm
thick. These films are also used in
photocopying.
58. Spirographs
It is used for copying drawings by pressing
firmly with the point over the lines to be
reproduced.
