articulated protractor head that allows an
angular rotation.
4. Set Squares

etc., and as a support for triangles.

Protractor is used to mark or measure angles

between 0 and 180.

divided by 16 parts; an inch or portion of an
inch represents an inch (can be 3/4 size, 1/2
size 3/8 size or 1/4 size).
23. Civil Engineer's Scale

It is designed according to metric system

with meter as standard unit. ( 1 meter =

are: 1:1(mm), 1:20, 1:33 1/3, 1:40, 1:50,
1:80, and 1:100.
26. Erasing Shield

It is used to establish measurements. Inch

divided by 10 parts; an inch to represent 10
feet or more (10, 20, 30, 40, 50).
24. Architect's Scale

Thin metal piece used to protect lines while

erasing.
27. Adjustable Triangle

A measuring wheel or measure wheel is

designed for measuring long distances. A
measurement wheel or distance measuring
wheel is perfect for construction, engineers,
architects, contractors, estimators, or any
long distance measuring job.
31. Parallel Straightedge
An adjustable triangle is used in school,
drawing or art purposes.
28. Calipers - Digital Caliper

A caliper or digital caliper is a measuring

device that is used to measure the distance
between two symmetrically opposing sides.

The parallel straightedge can be used as an

alternative to the T square.
32. Ruler

29. Drawing Templates and Drafting

Templates

Drawing templates and drafting templates

are used for art, hobbies, drawing, or
drafting purposes. These help us create some
shapes like circle, ellipses, and many more.

A ruler is perfect for school, drawing,

drafting, engineering, designing or art
purposes it guides us in making straight
lines.
33. Tape Measure

30. Measuring Wheel

The tape measure tool is primarily used to

measure distances between two points.

34. Small bow compass

This arrangement may provide a compact

combination of two needle pointed heads for
use as dividers for marking off distances, or
one pointed head and an ink or pencil head
for use as a compass.
38. Proportional Compasses

A small pair of compasses where the one leg

carries a pencil, pen, or point, and its legs
are being connected by a bow-shaped spring
instead of by a joint.
35. Mini Drafter
Have many useful scales engraved on its
legs and could be used for a variety of
purposes, including gunnery.
39. Beam Compasses

T-square, protractor and set squares can be

replaced by a drawing drafter. With this,
lines can be drawn at any desired angle.
36. Technical Pencil

A compass having adjustable legs, set

perpendicular to the paper and sliding along
a horizontal bar so as to permit the drawing
of large circles.
40. Pricker

sheets over one another and pricking the

principal points through from the upper to
the lower sheet.

42. Extension Bars

placed over the center point. The point of

the compass needle is then placed into the
hole in its center.
44. Dry transfer

Dry transfer decals can speed the production

of repetitive drawing elements such as
borders, title blocks, line types, shading, and
symbols. They were frequently used in
production of schematic drawings, maps,
and printed circuit board artwork, as
examples.
45. Ellipsograph

Extension bars are available for large bow

compasses to draw large diameter circles.
43. Compass Center Disk
An ellipsograph is a trammel of Archimedes
intended to draw, cut, or machine ellipses,
e.g. in wood or other sheet materials.
46. Pantographs
When many circles are drawn using the
same center, the compass needle may tend to
bore an oversized hole in the drawing. To
prevent these holes, use a device called a
horn center or center disk. This disk is

The original use of the pantograph was for

copying and scaling line drawings.

It is used to draw parallel and inclined lines.

51. Lead Sticks

47. Section Liners

These are used with compasses.

Its an instrument for drawing closely and,
most importantly, regularly spaced parallel
lines such as those used by mechanical
engineers and draughtsman to illustrate a
section through an item.

Crayons are versatile coloring instruments

that allow many creative possibilities.

Sandpapers are used to sharpen the pencil

lead and lead sticks.
54. Paper napkins or handkerchief

50. Roller Scale

A spline or the more modern term flexible

curve consists of a long strip fixed in
position at a number of points used to draw

A planimeter, also known as a platometer, is

a measuring instrument used to determine
the area of an arbitrary two-dimensional

usually of gray or a light khaki shade.
Common types are 0.05, 0.07 and 0.10 mm

firmly with the point over the lines to be
reproduced.
