19 cool vintage photo of how worked before the advent of AutoCAD

Scientific and technological progress sometimes leads to the disappearance of professions. Fortunately, this did not happen with the architects. After the development of programs to create drawings, they were able to significantly reduce their desks and more time creating projects.

AutoCAD appeared in 1982, and in 1994 around the world worked as 750 training centers in which it was possible to obtain the skills of working with this software. Previously, to create a drawing used drawing boards, rassini, compasses, pencils and many other tools. Today all you need is a computer and a mouse. I say, looking at these photos, you can even hear the rustling of paper...

Now architects don't have to do tons of large format paper. All the pencils, erasers, and precision measuring instruments are located on the computer. Below are some rare pictures that show how you had to create plans for buildings. In construction companies worked the entire plant engineers.
