TLC actually did make a drafting type paper back in the 1960's. The
Architectural Sets (#750, #751, #752) each came with several sheets of this
paper, which looks more like graph paper. Each box within the grid was the size
of a 1x1 brick. The shortlived series of architectural sets were made from
1963-65. The one good thing about these sets is that they were the very first
LEGO sets that contained small plates (1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x3, 2x4 in various
colors), and might have been the reason for their introduction. (Note: 2x8,
4x8, 6x8, and 4x8 curved plates were produced in white (only) starting in the
mid-50's for the Town Plan sets. All other plates came after these
Architectural ones.)
TLC's old Architectural paper has the old LEGO logo in the corner. I have a
mint #751 set with about 4 sheets of this paper.
