Copying drawings 143
Any Kind of reasonably fine paper, Either
thick or thin, serves to receive the copy.
Simply lay it upon the drawing board,
then upon the face of the drawing paper
lay the transfer paper, and upond the
top of the lot, lay the drawing, with
the pencil marks upwards, fasten the
whole 3 sheets together, and to the
board, by 4 drawing pins, one at each
corner, then proceed to run over the
Copying pencil marks with a fine but dull
Drawings pointed instrument. Use for the
purpose a stocking darning needle
with a handle, and the point ground
off. Run over the marks the same way
as with a transparent slate. If the
drawing is not too thick and the Carbon
paper is good, a good copy can be
obtained with care and practise.
Copies are also taken by perforating the
paper with small holes along the marked
lines with a needle then afterwards
laying it on the face of another sheet
of paper and rubbing it over with
powdered black lead The black lead
goes through the holes and leaves a
dotted outline underneath. A pencil
is then run over the marks and a
fair copy made with can be
quickly multiplied Oct 5 1872
