SCALE DRAFTING. 2d To complete the draft, it is necessary only to add the joints, lamp and step. As previously stated an India ink draft, when properly shaded, will resemble a steel-plate engraving. While the method of applying the ink is necessarily similar in everystyle of carriage sought to be represented, the student will discover that more skill isrequired to produce a clean and well-executed drawing on the outlines of a buggy, likethe one here shown, in diagram No. 4, than on the straight, plain design in diagramNo. DIAGRAM NO. 4. HALF-INCH SCALE. It will be discovered by the beginner that he must use more dexterity in handlingthe sable-hair pencils, and there will be many failures before the hand will becometrained to its work in giving those delicate touches which the experienced draftsmanappears to perform without an effort. Practice alone wil) give that confidence whichis requisite in making the drawing pen, or the inking pencils, obey the will. Nervous-ness, which is always experienced by the novice, will wear away gradually, and, after atime, what seemed to be a vexatious task will be the source of much pleasure. The starting points in this draft, as in all others, will be to strike the rims of thewheels; next the tire line, which is the outside line that bounds the wheel; then fol-low with the hubs, circle of the top, prop nuts, knuckles of joints; last, the lamp.
