TitleI. K. Brunel's wooden drawing curve marked 8 1/2 in black ink and 8 1/2 in yellow crayon.
DescriptionA semi-circular wooden drawing curve marked with the number 8 1/2 in black on both sides. There is half a hole on the left end of the curve, when looking with a recto view, where a section appears to be missing. It has I. K. B. 18 Duke Street, Westminster stamped on one side. Both sides have 8 1/2 written in yellow crayon. It is quite fragile as it has two large cracks which have been enforced by paper, and also jagged edges where sections have broken off.
