The consistency in instruction styles from the mid to late 70's onwards
through until now makes me wonder about this. They couldn't have been
using a CAD system them (surely? far too expensive) so they'd have been
done by draughts[wo]men, and it seems reasonable that until (and unless)
they could get the same quality via a CAD system it would still be done
manually today.
I do wonder what role CAD/CAM played in the surge of pieces around
86/87, with all the new 'diagonal' pieces, tiles, small L-shaped (2x2
minus 1) bricks and grilles that started appearing then, and the
increase in printing (the first non-standard fig heads were in 89,
weren't they?) That seems more likely than a change in the instruction
scans side.
