Scale drawing is a severe test 

 of accuracy, and should be 

 practised frequently before put- 

 ting one on to a plan. A con- 

 venient method of making a 

 very small scale is as follows 



Draw out an ordinary hori- 

 zontal scale, and supposing that 

 fractions of the units may be 

 required, say halves and quar- 

 ters, draw a vertical line against 

 the scale dividing it into quar- 

 ters. The length of the verti- 

 cal line is of no moment except 

 that it should not make the 

 scale look clumsy (see Diagram 

 28). Diagonal lines are drawn 

 across. The space between the 

 vertical and the oblique line on 

 the horizontal line marked J, is 

 three-quarters of the unit, and 

 if I2| may be required the divi- 

 ders are opened out on the third 

 line vertically below the right 

 figures on the upper scale, and 

 the fraction only appears from 

 the lower.
