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

(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.

Lego also included some sheets in early Brick Kicks magazines.  The boxes in
the grid were the size of a 1x1 plate.
