    I have enrolled in Y.D.S. it seems like the logical choice to me . After reading this forum for a while and some e-mail to and from Tom Macnaughton , which was honest,and quite speedy too, I got going on the first lesson and sent it in , (I should have sent an extra copy so they don't run out of room for all the comments and corrections I'm expecting)...Then I searched ebay and found the tools needed ,planimeter,drafting machine etc. at a fraction of the cost of new..the only problem I have now is,,,I have two drafting machines(that bidding thing can be addicting) so if any Y.D.S. students are interested, I will sell it only for what I paid for it plus shipping....Remember....draw----draw----draw !!

    How about a planimeter?

    I've already got a drafting machine, but if anyone has an extra planimeter that you can afford to let go cheaply, I'm interested.

    I'm not a YDS student yet, but I have tentative permission from my wife to change that.

    I have a planimeter that was used only twice. Contact me (through this forum) if you're interested.
