I think it was legally required that that one of those posters be on the wall of every college CAD lab. At least in the early 1990's. posted by rmd1023 at 7:17 AM on September 19, 2015
Cool.
Sadly (and oddly) the DWG file in the first link won't open in Illustrator 5. Oh well. posted by Thorzdad at 7:27 AM on September 19, 2015

There is also the Department of Agriculture's "Cocktail Construction" technical drawing from 1974. Might it have been the inspiration for the AutoCAD test document? A lot of the symbols are the same. posted by snuffleupagus at 8:24 AM on September 19, 2015

So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
