    Assembly Instructions

    Ask a Question. We would love to help!
    Q. Was the length of 42" of the Product number 1101-42 the 'physical length' of the parallel straight-edge or is this the 'working space'. My drawing board is measured exactly 42" from edge to edge and I'm worried that the parallel will go beyond. Your reply will be highly appreciated. Thank you. (Ron G.)
    A. All of our parallel bar measurements are the actual lengths of the bars and are made to fit the corresponding size drafting table. For example, a 42" straightedge or parallel bar is meant to go all the way across a 30" x 42" drafting board or table top.
    Q. Can this be installed on a glass top drafting table? (Lisamarie V.)
    A. Unfortunately, the Alvin Paral-Liner Straightedge cannot be mounted to a glass-top table because the mounting hardware for the top pulleys needs to attach to the top surface of the table and glass and can not be screwed into.
    Q. Does this come with mounting hardware? (Rusty B.)
    A. Yes, the Paral-Liner comes with all hardware necessary to mount on the board.

    Installed it on my glass drafting table and it looks and works great so far.

    I fastened the rear wire connectors to angle brackets at the back of my table.
