In an era without CAD, how did they draw things, from small parts to large machines and houses? Let’s take a look at the image below first▼ Creativity, experience, and the skill needed to draw are all essential for success in this field.

Time flies so fast; it’s been thirty years already. I was in charge of drawing the components, my brother handled the electrical control aspects, and our father took care of the overall design.
