Drawing Room
The department has two well furnished drawing rooms for carrying out the architectural drawings of ships and other related items.The rooms are adequately equipped with large size drawing tables(about 3m long) for the lengthy drawings.The drawing instruments provided include battons, batton weights, paper cutters,straight edges and quality drawing sheets of prescribed lengths.Perplex battons are used to sketch the curves from the offset readings.Batton weights made of iron are heavy loads placed on battons to hold it in place while the curve is drawn. Paper cutters are used to cut the drawing sheets smoothly as required .It has a fine blade and a scroller so that the paper is cut uniformly.The straight edge is for drawing the diagonals on the sheets so as to centre the drawings.the size of a drawing varies from about 1m-3m. The drawing procedure is in fact the very fulcrum of the naval architectural course.
