    Any CAD experts on here

    I want to see if there are any CAD experts on the forum who could take a good electronic set of 1922 US patent drawings and re scale them and turn into a full scale blue print or even a solid works CAD file ?

    Beware that patent drawings only describe a principle of operation or manufacture. They do not contain dimensions nor are they necessarily to scale. Frequently (in fact mostly) production items differ from the patent drawings.

    Yes there are many traps along the way

    But these are a 1922 document that looks to be fairly accurate with a good written description

    I'm under no illusions about how frustrating the fit and function of the parts will be.

    I was going to build a semi auto sten but none of the drawings I could find for that would actually work. Sounds like a winter project
