Figure Movement of Drafting Machine
The top frame (pink) is attached to the top of the drawing board. The vertical arm (light brown) moves left to right along the board on a mechanism under the top bar and rollers at the bottom of the bar. The drafting head (light green) moves up and down the vertical arm. The drafting head also rotates on the head mechanism (the black knob locks and unlocks the head). The vertical and horizontal plastic blades can be set at any angle with the protractor build into the head. The blades are also graduated in any of several drafting scales.
