What about this thing:

They are dumber. I'm just more forgetful.

Thanks for that paden cash, it is necessary to remember where it all started and why we carry on......
A few of my now rarely used gadgets that once were used daily
I've got at least one of everything pictured above, except for the Leroy set.
I was always a freehand drafter.
Moe,
Every time we'd be using the electric eraser, my old boss would say "I hear mistakes burnin'". 😛
And they should be thankful that someone saw it a corrected. Without that.....well...more stuff leaves the office wrong. Good forya!
Thanks for the rambling message Paden, said a lot about my career in the survey field, 1957 to 1983 (26 years)most enjoyable, so you really are a young man in this profession. For you mathematicians I was 25 years old when I began... don't use least squares or some analogy program on that calculation.... Thanks to Beer Leg, awesome forum...glen
"Never draft more in the morning than you can erase in the afternoon"
"Why do it right the first time, you're going to have to do it over anyway"
Some of the less positive mottos from the old days.
After reading all these responses I had to go check my desk drawers to make sure that wasn't all my stuff you guys swiped.
Anybody need an almost complete Leroy set? Polar planimeter? Acu-arc? Electric eraser?
We have a set of highway curves in a beautiful mahogany box sitting in a file drawer plus a bunch of planimeters and other old school stuff.
