Question

What does the “Single-Stroke” lettering mean?

(a) Cursive writing

(b) Uniformity in letters as obtained in one stroke of the pencil

(c) Writing in one stroke without lifting the pencil

(d) Writing only with hard, small diameter lead-pencil

This question was posed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

My doubt stems from Lines, Lettering and Dimensioning in section Lettering Practice, Scales & Curves of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) Uniformity in letters as obtained in one stroke of the pencil

Best explanation: Single-Stroke lettering resembles uniformity in line thickness which can be obtained in one stroke. One stroke resembles the uniform lead diameter i.e. during lettering the thickness of letters should match each other.
