Many available CAD programs, Autocad LT, for instance will plot just about any curve or shape you want, and print it as large as you want one page at a time to most desk top printers. Alignment marks are provided on separate pages. Just carefully stick the pages together. Not recommended for Boeing 747 full scale drawings, but possible. Not that I think it is worth going to this extent to get a curve which in actual construction will deviate greatly from theoretical perfection, assuming anyone knows what theoretical perfection is. It is always good to keep in mind that concentration on details which are insignificant to the whole of the problem is largely wasted effort. Frank Weston
