[nabs-l] diagramming and APH paper

[Andi]

I have used the tactual drawing cites and you do have to draw backwards but 
there are different kinds and the one I used had several different kinds of 
lines with different traipsing wheels and plates with different textures you 
put under the paper and rubbed with a smoothed tool to make the texture on 
the paper.  It also had these things that looked like tongs with different 
simples like arrows circles, triangles, and so on that you used a stamper to 
put the symbols on the paper.  It worked very well as it had so many options 
for different textures to make the picture or graph more accurate.  But I 
had trouble drawing backwards.  Also I can not find this kit I have looked 
for it on line and do not know who makes it.

Actually, drawing backwards is not that hard. Also, there is a pen looking
tool. You can poke dotes that stick out the back of the paper when it is
facing front ways and then flip it over and connect the dots. There is a
board with holes on the edges and a ruler that locks into the holes so that
you can have a straight edge without having to hold it down.
