The Forum / Weymouth - professional quality unit
The Forum drawing unit is of
tubular construction with maximum stability due to its large
footprint, and has a board height adjustment range of 37cm /
13.5" from a minimum horizontal height of 75cm / 29" - or
reference table level. A parallelogram mechanism enables
height and angle of the board to be easily balanced and
locked by means of a simple single lever which is fully
retractable. The unit incorporates a double tension spring
to assist height adjustment, and two variable-related
torsion springs for angle adjustment. The Weymouth parallel motion is a
simple, positive and accurate cable-type unit. Control of
the straight-edge is by means of a spring-loaded braided
cable. Counterbalance is provided by weights, which maintain
constant tension, thus ensuring smoothness of movement. Ball
type bearings are used throughout to ensure smooth
trouble-free operation. Available in
A1
and A0

The Trueline drawing unit
A portable board and parallel motion system for the drawing office,
studio, student or home use. The parallel motion is a cross wire
system, controlled by nylon covered stranded steel cable running on
corner pulleys fitted with ball-bearings for smooth movement .
Moulded corner blocks attach the pulleys to the board and also
protect the corners of the board from damage. Every Truline unit
comes with a double bevelled transparent graduated straightedge,
undercut to provide a inking edge. A simple brake on both ends allow
the straightedge to be locked in any position. Also the straightedge
can be adjusted in a way to raise it off the board to allow a cutting
mat to be placed under it, or can be removed altogether. The carry
handle is hinged to allow it to be used as a support to give a good
working angle.
