Noticed that mechanical pencils, actually lead holders mentioned.
Speaking as an ex draftsman, I've come on and used 0.5mm, 0.7mm and 0.9mm pencils. Others mentioned, diffeerent diameters of lead, are news to me.
I tend to use 0.9mm leads, HB grade re hardness for plotting, they are a bit soft, but with a light hand, work well enough, it seems.
