Notes:
Used in making maps; with this tool a relatively inexperienced person can make accurate , sharp and consistent lines on a map or drawing. Used in conjunction with a scribing film that consists of a clear base of dimensionally stable polyester, covered by a a scribable coating. When the tip is run over the film, it leaves a line on the map/drawing beneath.
