Answer» Correct choice is (b) Reducing scale To elaborate: Dimensions of large objects must be reduced to accommodate on standard drawing sheets. It is not any physical instrument but a ratio taken between actual and drawing objects, the drawing is drawn small and this ratio is termed as reducing scale. Don’t get confused as reducing-scale is also used by surveyors for reducing chains and links to acres and roods. |
