- Description
- Wooden box with a hinged lid and base with slats for rules and holes for lettering tips. The box contains lettering materials, including white rulers,ink pens in green cardboard cylindrical tubes, guiding stencils for lettering in different fonts, metal tool to hold ink nibs.
- Object History
- This lettering guide was used in the City of Burnaby's Planning Department, in the late 1950s. A lettering guide template is a special type of template used to write uniform characters. It consists of a sheet of plastic or other material with cut-outs of letters, numbers, and other shapes used especially for creating technical drawings. For decades they have been essential for lettering a drawing nameplate so text and other designs could be made quickly and uniformly. Although they have been superseded by the use of computers, during the greater part of the last century they were used to relatively ease the lettering process in the creation of technical drawings. They were an indispensable tool for architects and technical illustrators.
