The text discusses the various tools and equipment used in technical drawing, including:1. Drafting tables for a smooth, flat surface2. T-squares for drawing vertical and inclined lines3. Triangles for drawing angles4. Dividers for measuring distances and transferring them to the drawing5. Erasers for removing mistakes or changes without smudging the rest of the drawing6. Protractors for measuring and laying out angles on drawings7. Templates for saving time when drawing standard symbols and figures8. Scales for accurately measuring distances, with different scales used for architects, engineers, and mechanical drafting9. Dusting brushes for removing erasing crumbs and dirt particles from the drawing area without smudging the rest of the drawing.
