    Draft (engineering)

    In engineering, draft is the amount of taper for molded or cast parts perpendicular to the parting line. It can be measured in degrees or mm/mm (in/in).

    Consider the fabrication of a hollow plastic box, without lid. Once the plastic has hardened around the mold, the mold must be removed. As the plastic hardens, it may contract slightly. By tapering the sides of the mold by an appropriate "draft angle", the mold will be easier to remove.

    If the mold is to be removed from the top, the box should taper in towards the bottom, such that measuring the bottom internal dimension will yield a smaller length and width than measuring the top from which the mold is extracted.

    By specifying the opening length and width, a draft angle, and a depth, it is not necessary to specify the dimensions for the internal surface, as these may be calculated from the above.

    The manufacture of a part that incorporates zero or negative angles may require a mold that can be separated into two or more parts, in order to release the casting.

    Draft (sail)

    In nautical parlance, the draft or draught of a sail is a degree of curvature in a horizontal cross-section. Any sail experiences a force from the prevailing wind just because it impedes the air's passage. A sail with draft also functions as an airfoil when set at an angle slightly greater than the angle of the wind, producing lift which then propels.

    The word "belly" is also used in reference to the draft of a sail (i.e. "More belly in the main sail.").

    I got a secret for you,
    If you're about to lose your mind,
    It is fine.
    And if you're feeling stranded here,
    Then you're just feeling a lack of soul.
    It's your call.
    Wired, wired.
    I cough when I leave,
    Sick every time when I leave this town.
    Wired, wired.
    I cough when I leave,
    Sick every time that I leave this town.
    Wired!
    We're covered in dust, and everything here
    Is starting to play tricks with our minds.
    But it's fine.
    If the build seems unsteady,
    It can be just solace sometimes,
    It is fine.
    Wired, wired.
    I cough when I leave,
    Sick every time when I leave this town.
    Wired, wired.
    I cough when I leave,
    Sick every time that I leave this town.
    It's been so long,
    Spin me round.
    We're holding on tight but we,
    We just keep falling down.
    It's been so long,
