In my DACTA Control Lab manuals, there are some graph papers as well. Pitsco-
LEGO DACTA still sells the books ($87/set ouch!). The one titled, "Control Lab:
Technology Investigations and Inventions" has paper. All 1:1  Here's the text.


Invention Drawing: Front View (2 pages)
------------------------------
[LEGO DACTA logo] "Use this official LEGO(R) graph paper for designing your
models from a FRONT view. Place some LEGO plates (flat pieces) and bricks on
this sheet to see how they fit in the lines. Each box on the sheet equals a one-
stud plate. Notice that every third line is a little bit darker than the other
two. When three plates are stacked together they equal the size of one LEGO
brick."

Invention Drawing: Top View (2 pages)
-----------------------------
[LEGO DACTA logo] Use this official LEGO(R) graph paper for designing your
models from a TOP view. Place some LEGO plates (flat pieces) and bricks on this
sheet with the studs facing upwards. Notice how they fit in the lines. Each box
equals a one-stud plate.

Measurement Worksheet (1 page)
----------------------
(The three edges of the page are rulers. One English ruler, one Metric ruler and
one LEGO ruler.)
    1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
    1 inch = 3.20 1x1 stud LEGO bricks
    1 centimeter = 0.39 inches
    1 centimeter = 1.27 LEGO studs
    1x1 stud LEGO brick = 5/16 inch
    1x1 stud LEGO brick = .79 centimeters

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

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. [...]
