Abstract

The archives of historical drawings represent the complex of all realized constructive solutions in all technical fields. Therefore, the complex of all historical drawings represents the database of all human constructions and can be utilized to know and to study, from several points of view, the evolution of technology that is the basis of applied scientific research as we know it today.
