Nice German Made mechanical drawing set

A coworker found this at a yard sale and thought of me. He said he paid $3 for it.
It's made in Germany and seems to be complete.
Score!

That's a CAD system in an attractive carrying case!

... well, not quite CAD ... maybe MAD (Manually Aided Design), eh wot?

 

[Janderso]

CAD system?
Please explain the difference. I really have no idea.
I had a drafting class in high school. That was about 50 years ago.

Well, you know... There's Autodesk, there's Dassault, and then there's Alvin, Stadtler, & Post. You've gotta know one of them!

Did that help, or did I just make it worse?

 

[Janderso]

Yeah,
Worse.
That's OK, I'm a tough case.

Those old drafting tool sets can be quite nice, I have a couple of them, but don't use them, the compasses tend to be a bit flimsy, and who inks drawings any more, in fact, who draws any more? About 30 years ago I bought some modern drafting instruments, Staedtler (German made) brand; the compasses are far better in terms of stability than the older stuff.
Speaking of garage/estate sales, I got a bunch of Leroy lettering stuff for nothing; anyone out there collect that stuff?

I actually made some progress with Fusion 360 today.
Who draws? Just to work out an idea and have a plan on the bench.
Nobody draws anymore
