Sounds like you are talking about vellum

Yep, vellum was what we used in 9th grade back in the 60's.

I used to have three drawing boards, t-squares and a big box of instruments, pencils, leads, erasers (no undo button back then:), triangles and templates. I think my wife burned my last board when we moved 16 months ago.

I think I might still have my slide rule. Some of you guys remember those. I had to rescue mine decades ago when I found it holding open a window at my mom's house. Lol. I hadn't used it since T.I. came out with scientific calculators. Probably the only thing I remember how to do with that "slip stick" is ahh, prop open a window.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
