De tekeninstrumenten die tussen 1850 en de tweede wereldoorlog vervaardig werden door een aantal Britse producenten bezaten een wereldwijde reputatie en werden zowel in Groot-Brittannië als elders in de wereld gebruikt door architecten, ingenieurs, ontwerpers en technisch tekenaars. Alhoewel ze erg duur waren, was hun kwaliteit hun naam.
De meeste die in dit Album beschreven worden waren vervaardigd in elektron, nieuwzilver of brons. De schalen waren veelal gegraveerd in ivoor of hout. Deze instrumenten werden vervaardigd volgens de hoogste normen inzake precisie en duurzaamheid, en werden vaak levenslang gegarandeerd door hun vervaardigers. Maar jammer genoeg leidde hun uitzonderlijke kwaliteit ook tot hun verdwijnen - omdat ze te duur werden. The drawing instruments made between 1850 and the Second World War by a few British makers had a worldwide reputation and were used by architects, engineers, designers and draughtsmen both in Britain and in other countries. Although they were highly prized, their excellence was surprisingly taken for granted.
Most of the instruments described in this Album were made in electrum, but some in german silver and others in brass. Generally the scales were engraved in ivory or wood. The instruments were constructed to the highest standards of precision and durability and frequently were guaranteed for a lifetime by the makers. Unfortunately their exceptional quality led to their disappearance as, with rising costs, they became too expensive.
This book reviews some of the more important items of the period and encourages their collection and restoration.
