Who invented drafting

Right in the middle of that growing advancement, the engineering world saw the foundation of Autodesk. At this time, it was the computer hardware available that was holding CAD programs back. Before, drafting was tedious and time-consuming. And the photos below really show it. Looking at them, you can almost hear the rustling paper. Now, architecture design, electrical and other drafters are mainly clicking their mouse and keyboard. Technical drawing, drafting or drawing, is the act and discipline of composing drawings that visually communicate how something functions or is constructed.

The need for precise communication in the preparation of a functional document distinguishes technical drawing from the expressive drawing of the visual arts. Artistic drawings are subjectively interpreted; their meanings are multiply determined. Technical drawings are understood to have one intended meaning. The basic drafting procedure is to place a piece of paper or other material on a smooth surface with right-angle corners and straight sides—typically a drawing board.

In addition, the drafter uses several technical drawing tools to draw curves and circles. Finally he just zigged, concerned that zagging would wear out his tires. All in all, "I don't know why. It's just what I did. In the Daytona of , Junior Johnson had no idea -- "none at all" -- what was happening to him in a Chevrolet that in practice and qualifying had been "25 to 30 miles an hour slower than everybody else," he recalled.

Huge speed differentials weren't unusual in those days. Early in the race, as he pulled out of the pits, "I could see Cotton Owens coming off Turn 4," in one of the Pontiacs that formed the dominant fleet that year. Here he came, up on me, and went around me. When he did, I ducked in behind him. Junior's Chevy wasn't strong enough to pull out and pass. So he remained tucked behind Owens for a while.

When Junior pitted again, crew chief Ray Fox "thought he'd fixed it. But, "I went back out and ran by myself," Junior said, "and it was just as slow as it had been before.

On a hunch, "I waited on Jack Smith. He had the fastest car. He was a little bit faster than Cotton, but I could stay with him the same way I could Cotton. As the race went on, "when I was sitting behind one of the Pontiacs, shucks, I wasn't running but about two-thirds throttle. But I was turning a thousand RPM more. Toward the end of the race, all the Pontiacs had failed except for the older '59 Pontiac owned by Smokey Yunick and driven by Bobby Johns.

Finally, with Junior leading late, "the Pontiac teams figured it out. Jack Smith had burned a wheel bearing, and they fixed it and sent him out. They sent Jack out to pull Bobby up to beat me. Smith towed Johns up and past Junior in the draft, "and when they went by me, it [the force of the draft] took Bobby's back glass out, and he spun out down the backstretch, and when I came back around he was still sitting there.
