The Ferracute people use in their drawing-room large triangles having cut in them some outlines which they have to reproduce often in their rough sketches--as for instance, the heads of "hex" bolts, the conventional representation of screw-threads, etc. Holding Large Drawings on the Board. Since going through the Pennsylvania Railway shops at Altoona, a number of years ago, I have given up the old barbarism of holding large drawings on the board by glue or by drafting-tacks, and have used small copper tacks (about the ' one-ounce ' size) as being cheaper and more convenient to insert and take out, and as offering no obstruction to the passage of the T square and the triangle; besides which they have not the habit, as some have, of coming up into one's thumb (whence the name of ' thumb-tacks' I suppose) on being pressed into a hard board.
