Intermode - Unicut Robert Raehle

[Schneiderfrei]

Here are the source PDFs for the Intermode Magazine, Robert Raehle's outlet for the Unicut drafting system in the 1960' 70's

Happily peterle found the original website:

I encourage you to access the files from the website he has posted below.

Please be aware that there are options to download two different size files - small/klein and large/gross

the large/gross files are much better for close study.

There a few articles of special interest that I have translated within this forum. You can search for them under: Unicut.

I took a look at the PDFs and they are really cool. They also have the text translated to French and Italian--what a plus.

I have a question, though. I did a quick scan of the instructions and there is a symbol that looks somewhat like the percent sigh (%). I'm not sure how to interpret that. Any ideas? I'm attaching a clip of one of the instructions that shows it in use on several lines.

Thanks!

H jstrauss,

You have discovered the Industrial minus symbol. In order to distinguish from dashes and strokes % is used to indicate to subtract the amount indicated in the instruction.  I'm not certain if it is a particularly European thing. Maybe someone can say how far its use spreads.

Anyway its the opposite of plus/add/ addition.

I was tought to this -/- as "scientific minus" and used, well spaced, in formulas. Note that this was a long time ago and these days I "hardly know the difference between a square root and a cucumber" according to one of my sons who is a physicist...

Cheerio, Hendrick
