QQ TRADE @ BEAVER DRAFTING Drafting might justly be called the craddle of industry. Drafting is a profes- sion that most all other trades depend on. Whenever a building or machine is being made, the first thing looked for is a complete set of blueprints. These prints must show what the finished product will consist of. The students of the drafting depart- ment are being taught just this. They are taught to lay out the plan on paper very neatly and accurately in every detail. They are taught the different methods of tracing these drawings so that a neat blueprint can be made. The drafting course also consists of the making of blueprints.
