horizontal angle lever:E. Turning this Lever

turning the grip E1 adjusts the angle of the
Horizontal scale in relation to the protractor.
Turning this Lever counterclockwise tightens the
horizontal scale, which can then be moved by
moving the grip E1.
angle lock lever:F. When this lever is moved to
stop at the left, the angle can be adjusted freely.
When it is moved to stop at the right, the angle
can be adjusted in 15° increments.
calibration lever:G. If the horizontal scale at
0° is not in parallel to the driving paper, loosen
this Lever clockwise so that the scale can be
adjusted. Then, move and adjust the horizontal
scale parallel to the drawing paper and tighten
this Lever counterclockwise to keep the
protractor stationary.
The drafting head can be bent upward to make it
easier to look at the draft, as shown in the Side View.
