Gold FFM Popular Post Mightymetro 275 Posted November 6, 2020 Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Thought I’d post what I came across last week. On purchasing a V8 engine the seller kindly added that he had some technical drawings that he received from Brian Angus at Lotus. the engine was supplied by Lotus as a test mule for a Lancia Kit car company that never materialised and there was potential of lotus selling the uprights too so I got quite a few A0 technical drawings with the purchase that I thought you all might be interested in . I’ll get more detailed pictures when I get chance to open them all up but what a piece of history. Also has some of the amendments on them and design changes and dates 11 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

march 833 Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 I have an old A3 scanner and have scanned drawings larger than a0 and stitched them together into one drawing. It is also quite easy (but can be time consuming) to edit out any fold marks / imperfections. I was about to throw out the scanner and laptop as it has just sat in the garage for years since I last used it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

red vtec 186 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 You don't scan them, you lay them out flat even perhaps iron them and then take a hi res picture from above. You can then print from that image.

Lotus5509 3 Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Any decent printing outfit will have a 1.2m (48") wide scanner that will easily accept folded plans and such and print as many copies, either colour or b&w as you'd like. And usually quite reasonable like $5 a page for Arch D (24"x36") size. Oh and yeah - Im in as well ! Can't wait - definitely GARAGE ART. I think the best way to go would be to have them scanned and send the files along for a set price via email or ftp site and we can have them printed at a location close to each.
