Re: ASCII art

This was once one of the only ways to draw on a computer back in the 70's and 80's. I remember electronics schematics in plain ASCII along with BBS (Bulletin Board Systems) Banners. It's nice to see people still using this type of drawing, and also the fact its not all monochrome :lol: People used t...

Re: 4 Jaw Rotary Table T-Slots

For T-slots, model what would go in the slot (a rectangular pad with a cylinder glued on the end and then a smaller copy of these two on top). Subtract that from the solid and then array it. That also makes your model easily reconfigurable, for instance if someone wanted a RT with three slots in it...

Here are some Rockwell Space Shuttle documents from the 70's

Over several years I have been searching and finding a plethora of engineering drawings of the Space Shuttle. A majority of the files were downloaded from NTRS.NASA.gov .
