Architects still use those, by the way.  (At least the older ones do.)  The internet has pretty much put Sweets out of business though.  I haven't ordered a set for my office in years.

Back in the 80s the companies that made plumbing fixtures used to put pretty girls in the showers, I guess for "scale."  Sometimes they weren't even wearing their thongs.
