There are certain instruments that are essential for all scientists and technical professionals—whether astronomers, navigators, surveyors, engineers, or architects.
These specialists need to produce precise drawings (often to scale), take measurements from maps and plans, and create scaled copies.
These fundamental drafting instruments have a long history, dating back to Greek culture, which began to study spatial relationships and the shapes of objects; geometry was thus the first science to be rationally organized as the science of shapes.
