Drawing Diagrams and Prototype Sketches...

 Hey Steamers,

      Below you will find some professional diagrams drawn by two inventors.  Inventors have to take on the role as product designers at times.  A diagram is not the same thig as a sketch.  A sketch would be considered a DRAFT within the diagramming process.  Diagrams are not only visual pictures but also labels.  Diagrams also require product designers to show multiple perspectives of a product.  Imagine a microscope and how "Close-up" a microscope allows a viewer to see.  Then picture a globe.  A globe shows a person everything the earth has on its surface from landmasses to bodies of water.  Product designers use both perspectives to educate their customers.  Take a look at the examples below.  I took these photos while at the National Archives in Washington D.C. 

Sincerely,
C

This is Eleazer Kempshall's patent sketch. 
He submitted them on December 18, 1901.
