Motors are achieving substantial time saving (for instance 4rain to perform a task that takes 3-4 months using manual methods) on some engineering design tasks at their commercial vehicles centre with the recent installation of a CalComp 960 high-speed draughting system.
The 960 combines the advantages of drum plotters with those of flat-bed plotters, and has the ability to plot in two colours, onto preprinted stationery if required, at speeds of up to 42 in/s. Working offline via a CalComp 925, 9-track, 800 b.p.i. graphics controller, the plotter is used by Vauxhall's Engineering and Styling Department in design validation procedures, and is installed in the Engineering Computer Services Department.
