Lantern slide used for aerial bombardment training

from Provincial Archives of Alberta

• Cecilia Temperli said:

  Note the draftsmanship, especially on the round receding parts, and the nice hand writing! On another drawing there would have been a plan to ensure that the distances of the inch increments were drawn at the right intervals.

• Provincial Archives of Alberta said:

  It really is quite stunning work. It's amazing to think of how much work is done by computer now that used to be done by hand.

• Cecilia Temperli said:

  Provincial Archives of Alberta I trained as an architectural draftswoman in the late 1960s. Much of the early training before being let loose onto clients' drawings was to perfect the line work in pencil and ink. I still have my 'Pelican Graphos' pen set! It is great that these images are preserved and I really appreciated the work that is being shown here.

• Provincial Archives of Alberta said:

  We have a wide variety of architectural and industrial plans that showcase similar skill in our holdings. If you're in the Edmonton area, you can see them in our reading room or search on our online database to see what we have: hermis.alberta.ca/paa/.

• Cecilia Temperli said:

  Provincial Archives of Alberta Thanks for the link! I am in Sydney, Australia! :) Love your archive photos and history from other parts of the world, including 'ours', of course.
