Somewhere I have a drafting pencil that used a fat lead that was sharpened by using something like sandpaper.

Think the lead I used back in 1966 was probably a #1.

Still have a drafting set that belonged to my father-in-law. Most of my drafting tools were stolen along with a lot of my tools when my shop was broken into.

That’s a carpenters pencil, not a drafting pencil!!
