Emmert Portable Drafting Machine
|
|
This is a
beautiful drafting machine that looks like its from the 1940's or 50's.
It was made by the "Emmert Manufacturing Company" in Waynesboro,
Pennsylvania. It is self contained in a hard case with two hinges, and
four latches. There are five rubber feet on the bottom of the case to
keep it from moving around when it is flat on the desk. The top half of
the case is removable, and the hinged 24" x 13 3/4" drawing board lifts
up and is supported by a machined prop rod that adjusts to three
positions. When in use, the drafting machine has a 9" threaded extension
that allows the machine to extend beyond the board on the left, so the
full board can be used. The lockable movement is very smooth up and
down, right and left. The beautifully machined protractor has a worm
gear operation, with a micrometer calibration at the end of the
adjustment knob for fine tuning. It is missing the two straight edge
scales. There is a 2 1/4" black wheel with a thin cable at the top of
the machine. The cable is not attached to anything, and I don't know
what this wheel does. The data tag on the protractor reads: "Emmert"
Vertical or Horizontal Drafting Machines, Emmert Mfg. Co., Waynesboro,
Penna. The serial number is: 20539. The overall dimensions of the case
are 27" x 20 1/2" x 4 1/4". |
