This week we are doing a drafting module in class. The old Chicago School of Watchmaking program has a 'drawing of the Swiss lever escapement' chapter so we are following the steps outline in that program to complete a reproduction of a standard Swiss lever. In class I have been working with traditional drafting equipment: pencil, compass, square, protractor, etc.
However I also have been working with CAD software which makes the process much more accurate and much cleaner. See the pictures below.
