BID HISTORY
DESCRIPTION
Large English box with curve templates, ca. 1880.
Wood and bakelite.
Exhibits wear consistent with age and use. Some restoration.
Measurements: 2 x 66 x 19 cm.
The box presents a vast collection of rulers for curves. These templates, manufactured with great precision, are essential for technical drawing, drawing plans and industrial and naval design. The collection covers a very wide range of curvatures, from the smoothest and most elongated to the steepest and tightest. This diversity allowed the draftsman to replicate any arc or curved segment required, from the silhouette of a ship's hull to the profile of a mechanical part or the shape of an architectural element.
