Just saw a blueprint from 1955 with hand-drawn details we'd never do today

Found it in the archives at the county building, and the line weights were all done with different pens. Has anyone else come across old drawings that make you appreciate modern CAD?

Honestly, it's just a different way of working! Those old methods got the job done for their time, same as our tools do now. Not everything has to be a deep appreciation moment.

But Keith, do you think the hand-drawn process itself changed how those engineers thought about a problem? Like, having to commit ink to paper feels so final compared to just hitting undo.
