OfHi!

I have attached a picture from my 1960 book, "Advance Science Master's Handbook" by Ivan L. Muter, and any afficiando of "Camm's Comics" will recognise that this is an absolutely classic Newnes style of drawing from the 1950s, altho' the book isn't published by them!

I would love to replicate this exact style of drawing – I can get near to most of it, but the one bit I can't duplicate is the way the very thin line used for the anode circuit coil blends into the thicker general circuit lines in a smooth curve either side!

Can anyone suggest how Newnes's Draughtsmen achieved this effect please?
