Life before AutoCAD

[Gerald_Achieng_Achie]

Before the advent of AutoCAD and other drafting softwares, the engineering drawings were made on sheet of papers using drawing boards. Many equipments were required to complete a given drawing such as drawing board, different grade pencils, Erasers T-squares, Set square etc.

Each engineer needed to have at least 3 techs to push a project.
The calculations were manual also

@shocks

The calculations were manual also

but si the manual calculations were fun, albeit time consuming?

No, if you make a blunder at the begining, it cascades down a dozen pages then affects the input of 3 more calculations each also having a dozen pages…
But on the flip side, engineers really understood their craft, nowadays you find monkeys inputing figures into calculations they do not understand.

Kuna siku nili sahau T-Square kwa mathree bahati niwasee tunajuana. Technical Drawings was a must for Engineering Courses dont know kama bado ni requirement siku hizi.

Respec to the maafakaz who were doing ach while i was a juja boy huko mid 2k… Hawakuwa wanajisikia kama hawa burukenge unaoona sikuhizi msee amebeba hizo ma rulers and thingz anataka kupiga roundi mtaani kabla apande matatu afike ADD… Mshenz. Anadhani yeye ni space cadet.

And scale rule and slide rule for calculations. I have used a slide rule as calculators were not allowed in exam rooms

In practice, engineers and architects put concepts and drafts in paper and the draughtmen do the actual drawing
