B. Scaling Copy.

Since the ori^mal drawing or photograph seldom fits the allotted space, it is necessary to "scale the copy," that is, to figure out the height and width it will be when one side is reduced or lengthened.

A diagonal line drawn from corner to opposite corner will be the diagonal of a larger or smaller illustration made from that copy. Use a tissue overlay paper for drawing the diagonal.

A slide rule is also a useful device to determine the reduction of a photograph or drawing.
