Students must procure the following set of drawing requisites before the course commences.
Note:
University students may claim exemption from sales tax on this equip- ment.1. Set of drawing instruments.
Engineers should obtain a good set as it will be constantly required throughout the course and probably after graduation.
The set must contain:
Compasses—with pen and pencil attachment, and extension arm.
Pen and pencil spring bows and dividers.
Ruling pen.
2. One 10" slide rule with ABCD, Sin, Tan, log-log scales—preferably Darm- stadt pattern, or P.I.C. (A. G. Thornton, Ltd.).
3. Celluloid set squares.
One 10" adjustable set square.
One 60° set square, 10" size or larger.
4. One celluloid protractor, 5" diameter or larger—preferably full circle type.
5. One French curve.
6. Scales.
One 12" Armstrong or engineer's scale, graduated t", ł", I", 1", d", 11}", 3 to the foot. .
One 12" scale, graduated %2", 42", s'iг" and m.m. units.
One 12" "chain" scale graduated 20, 40, 80, 100 parts to the inch (decimal).
7. Pencils—good quality drawing pencils.
F (two required), H (two required), 4H and 5H or 6Н.
Also set of coloured pencils (six colours).
8. One hard eraser, one artgum, one eraser shield.
9. One small fine file (5" warding file-smooth) or sand paper block.
