English term or phrase: drawing tools
Peut-on parler d'Outils de traçage lorsqu'on réfère à l'expédition égyptienne de 1798/9 à laquelle des scientifiques participèrent :
Je me demande si on parle d'outils de dessin comme dans le cas des artistes qui prenaient des croquis ou pour la topographie d'outils plus "robustes" pour le terrain, ce qui me semble plus le cas, est-ce qu'Outil de traçage reflète le XIXe siècle ?
Extract : "A large part of the instruments the scientists had taken with them had been lost aboard one of the ships destroyed in Abukir Bay; Conté and his assistants, in their workshop, fashioned the tools to make the instruments that had to be replaced and many other new ones: surgical apparatus, compasses, telescopic and microscopic lenses; dies needed for the printing plant, for the Mint, and for the replacement of uniform buttons; surveying instruments; drawing tools; even sword blades, bugles, cloth, and hats.
