Drawing instruments and their uses
Drawing instruments are used to prepare drawings easily
and accurately.
The accuracy of the drawings depends largely on the
quality of instruments.
With instruments of good quality, desirable accuracy can
be attained with ease.
It is, therefore, essential to procure instruments of as
