curves

CURVES.
To draw curves that are not formed of arcs or parts of circles, templates called curves are provided. They are made in wood and in hard rubber, the latter being most durable; their uses are so obvious as to require no explanation. It may be remarked, however, that the use of curves gives excellent practice, because they must be adjusted very accurately to produce good results, and the drawing pen must be held in the [22] same vertical plane, or the curve drawn will not be true in its outline.
