equipments are needed. Engineering drawing is entirely a
graphic language hence instruments are essentially
needed. Drawing must be clear, neat and legible in order
to serve its purpose. Hence it is extremely important for
engineers to have good speed, accuracy, legibility and
neatness in the drawing work.2.2. Important Drawing Equipments
