USING THE PIKE PLANNER
SCALE. Your PIKE
PLANNER has been scaled one inch to the foot. That is, one foot in
length of American Flyer track scales down to one inch in the PIKE PLANNER.
All track sections and switches, etc., will be laid out to exact scale
and the line drawn will be the center line of the track.
GRAPH PAPER.
You will notice that it is divided into one-inch squares and each of these
squares is, in turn divided by 12 lines. The one inch squares represent
one foot in the actual layout and each smaller square signifies one inch
in the actual layout. It's a goof idea to mount the graph paper to
a piece of cardboard with rubber cement or Scotch tape to prevent tearing
and wrinkling. Once this is done, make the actual drawing on a piece
of tracing paper, laid over the graph paper, so that you can use the graph
paper over and over again.
