He also prohibited the “thread > parallel ruler” (name uncertain in English). I never used one of those. I school we had T-squares. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-square When I went to work we had drafting machines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drafting_machine Yes, they do come in a left handed model and I had one. Almost all my drafting was ladder diagrams or electronic schematics so I rarely used the protractor head. I did have an assortment of triangles for fixed angles. The paper was graph paper with blue lines that didn't transfer to the blueprints so spacing was easy. That was a lot easier than college where we used unlined paper and did more complex drawings like the gears on a variable pitch propeller and isometrics. The 0.5 mm mechanical pencils hadn't arrived so we used Eagle lead holders and sharpeners. https://www.ebay.com/itm/235162606986 https://www.etsy.com/listing/1396227384/drafting-pencil-sharpener The second is a bad photo but you stuck the pencil in the white holder and spun the top around. We did have electric erasers.
