This drawing shows three thick black lines crossing at angles. One line is vertical, another cuts diagonally, and a smaller piece juts off sideways. The background is plain light paper, and there’s handwriting labeling parts like *"6 diameter high tensile steel flt"* and *"1/2" x 1/8" x 3/8" steel tube connectors."* The notes suggest this sketch was for a real, giant metal tower—just a scaled-down plan. The artist used simple shapes and measurements to show how the pieces fit together. If you like this, check out Clement Meadmore.
