Now the drawing on disk/tape no longer matched the one in the drawer. Of course, that didn't address people going into the drawing vaults and taking the ink-on-mylar original plots, scrapping off the ink, making dimension changes, adding a hand written entry in to the revision block, sending it to the photolab to be re-photographed and having a new aperture card made. We finally ordered preprinted 'drawing sheets' on craft paper with the drawing border printed in red and with the word 'Preliminary' in large but light-red text displayed diagonally across the front of the sheet and that finally put a stop to people using review plots as 'drawings'. The problem was that those old CalComp plotters did such a good job that people would occasionally take one of them down to the blueprint room and run a white-print which would end-up in the shop somewhere where is was mistaken for a real drawing. When we first implemented CAD/CAM back in 1977 (this was in a former life), we would make review plots using ballpoint-on-vellum, instead of ink-on-mylar and we thought people wouldn't have to be told that they were not finished drawings. It is possible to make blueprints from bond paper, but they look awful. Pembroke Pines, FL, USA RE: Old Blueprints as Wall art? JohnRBaker (Mechanical) 27 Nov 13 21:53 The box was pretty heavy to lug into a show, but a lot lighter than an actual engine, and it seemed to draw people near, which was the whole point. I fitted acrylic tubing downstream of that, where there would normally be stainless or fiberglass, and looped that around to the back of the display where a marine muffler discharged the air and separated the water, which drained into a concealed sump for re-use. Inside the box, I installed a high pressure blower and a water pump, so the business end of the riser could be seen in action. I also had the print shop laminate the prints on both sides, which added a little snap to the display, made the images more durable and smudge-resistant, and I think made them easier to cut, fit, trim, and apply over 3M spray contact cement. The finished box looked pretty nice (I wish I had a photo), with the blue lines clearly suggesting an engine from tens of feet away, but not detracting from the shiny riser. Some of the fine lines on the original print blew up to 1/4", so the print shop called about that, and I said that's what I wanted. I had a carpenter make a roughly engine- shaped box, to which I glued full size blue on white prints of an actual engine, with the trade dress removed because I couldn't get permission from the engine mfgr. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.There are still a few places that do engineering prints (and posters and wall art and such), so if you can get the blueprints you want as PDFs (or other graphics file formats), you can have them plotted at any size you like (making a better fit in the room, with a little planning), within the limits of their plotter's roll feed.Ī while back, I was working on marine exhaust risers, which normally bolt to a Diesel engine, and we wanted a way to show off the product, nicely polished.
