Shop Drawings - History and Origin
Shop Drawings - History and Origin
(OP)
Anyone have resources you can point me to on the history of shop drawings in construction? When did they first begin to be used by various trades and why? Often when I look at old contract drawings, they seem very complete. And so I wonder when shop drawings arose.

The whole exhibit is quite interesting, the "Resources" links lists books such as "A History of Engineering Drawings" that probably go into more detail.

sundale - I too have been struck by the quality of old drawings. Are you sure you were look at steel shop drawings as opposed to the original architectural drawings? Did they have a fabricator's name on them?
