Monty, ok, blimey, I haven't seen any of that for years, thought it went out with plane tables.
When we ran a research unit on a shoestring we used single sheets of '5m' gridded permatrace (liberated from a local unit) and fixed them to a white clipboard with clear adhesive plastic film. Its a bugger to do with no bubbles, but once done, you have a clipboard with grid, that you can bulldog-clip clear permatrace to. No need for masking tape. Of course you have to get some bulldog clips, and stop 'em disapearing...
No-one really uses masking tape round here so its not really a problem, blue biro is banned too...
David, so can you source hi viz string vests or not?
