Each glue-top pad features low-glare green tinted paper to help reduce eye strain and fatigue. A never-out necessity for architects, designers, engineers and their students. Proudly made in the USA.5 Squares per inch. 8-1/2" x 11". Glue top. 3-Hole punched. Green tint paper. 100 Sheets. Your Choice for Crisp, Legible Lines: These TOPS Engineering Pads have gridlines you can see clearly from the back side of the page. Vivid 5 x 5 cross-section rulings provide the perfect guide for engineers, programmers, architects and academics from a variety of disciplines.Durable Quality Paper: Our engineering paper routinely earns high marks for usability. This sheer, high quality engineering stock is smooth and durable enough to sustain intense pencil and ink work. Ideally suited to graph equations, diagrams, schematics and more.Flawless Standardized Margins: TOPS margin lines don't wander from sheet to sheet. Every line and heading bar is precisely printed to align from page to page and meet standard specifications.Made for Hours of Work: TOPS Engineering Computation Pads are printed on green tint paper to help reduce eye strain during late nights at the drafting table.Padded and Punched for Convenience: Unlike some bargain brands, TOPS 8-1/2" x 11" computation sheets have a firm back for writing support. Each glue-top pad holds 100 sheets. Conveniently 3-hole punched to fit standard ring binders. Review: Nice paper - My profesor loved to use it so I had to order 2 of them. I don’t have a lot to say about paper only that it was good quality and lasted a bunch considering that I used a LOT of it. Easy to write, easy to erase. Doesn’t break. Review: Perfect for engineering notes - I had been hesitating for a long time before finally rolling the dice and ordering this pad. As a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering, I have grown very particular with my writing utensils and media, almost to obsession. This engineering paper is the diamond in the rough, though, as it satisfies a very particular paper-palate and inexpensively. As far as my paper goes, I had always preferred the "cheaper" engineering computation pads that would pop up from time to time at my school's student store. With the more expensive "quality" pads, the sheets are thick enough to be solid yellowish on one side, nearly perfectly concealing the grid on the other side. Writing on that paper was basically like writing on a piece of printer paper with a yellowish tint, which I am sure is preferable for some. But here is why this (the paper for which this review is written) paper, and other "cheaper" paper is superior in my opinion: 1) The paper is thinner, so when you stack two sheets the grid shows through to the front. It is faint enough that your pencil or pen is far darker in contrast, so your pencil or pen strokes won't be lost in lines while writing. But you can see the lines well enough to use them as guides for using it like notepaper with sub-college-ruled lines, and you have the vertical lines for if you need to draw diagrams or draw boxes around titles or diagram labels. For mechanical engineering it is great when drawing free body diagrams, sketching designs and diagrams, sketching out fluid systems, thermodynamic systems, graphs -- the list goes on. 2) When done writing on the sheet and you pick it up by itself (recall in #1 we were writing on a two-page stack) the lines no longer show through as well (they nearly go away) so your notes or diagrams written using the lines as guides just appears as a neatly organized horizontal writing and diagrams or graphs with nice straight lines on yellowish paper. Nothing is flawless, however, and there is one con to speak of with this paper. The grid lines on the opposite side is dark enough to pretty useless unless you're writing in thick black ink. Some may disagree, but its brightness is near enough to that of a 0.5mm HB mechanical pencil that doing anything on the grid side just looks cluttered. BUT--This is a problem with all engineering pads I've used. Over the years I have (and you will) develop/ed two habits: 1. whenever I go to write, I tear two sheets off my engineering notepad so I can stack them and use the grid lines as writing guides, and 2. I only write on a single side of paper (note: your two stacked sheets are technically two sides). If you're on-the-fence about which pad to buy, I recommend trying this one. ## Features - SEE GRIDLINES CLEARLY: TOPS Engineering Computation Pads have crisp 5x5 cross-section lines that show through with remarkable clarity; perfect for professionals and students - SMOOTH, DURABLE SURFACE: High quality engineering paper provides an ideal weight and smoothness; your pencil will glide across the page - PRECISION-PRINTED FOR ACCURACY: Your margin lines won't stray around the page; headers align perfectly, page after page - AN EXCELLENT VALUE: Get 100 three-hole punched 8-1/2" x 11" sheets in a handy glue-top pad with cardboard back ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001J87JTM | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,615 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #1 in Computation & Data Pads | | Binding | Office Product | | Brand | Tops | | Brand Name | Tops | | Color | Green | | Cover Material | Cardboard | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,562 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00025932355004 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 11"L x 8.5"W | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 10.8"L x 8.4"W x 0.2"Th | | Item Type Name | Computation Pad | | Item Weight | 11.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Tops | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Sections | 1 | | Pages | 100 | | Paper Size | 8 1/2 x 11 | | Pattern | Printed | | Ruling Type | Squared | | Sheet Size | 8 1/2 x 11 | | Special Features | Perforated Pages | | Specific Uses For Product | Technical Drawing, Note-taking, Academic Use, Professional Use, Diagramming, Planning | | Style | Quadrille (5 sq./in.) | | Theme | Book | | UPC | 025932355004 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tops - **Color:** Green - **Cover Material:** Cardboard - **Pages:** 100 - **Product Dimensions:** 10.8"L x 8.4"W x 0.2"Th - **Ruling Type:** Squared - **Sheet Size:** 8 1/2 x 11 - **Special Feature:** Perforated Pages - **Style:** Quadrille (5 sq./in.) - **Theme:** Book ## Images ![TOPS Engineering Computation Pad, 8-1/2" x 11", Glue Top, 5 x 5 Graph Rule on Back, Green Tint Paper, 3-Hole Punched, 100 Sheets (35500) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Gpr8pyPKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there a version of this paper that is spiral bound?** A: TOPS Computation Book, 11.75 x 9.5 Inches, Double Wire, 152 Numbered Pages, Quadrille Ruled, 76 Sheets, Buff, (35061) -- this version is spiral bound, but the pages appear to be yellow, rather than green. Check it out for yourself. **Q: Is this .02" engineering pad if that is what im looking for?** A: I think so. 5 squares to an inch, I believe. I was looking for Quarter inch with heavy lines at the 1 inch squares, but they did not have any. This was available. **Q: What are on the back side of these sheets? More grid or a blank side?** A: the front side of the paper has light fainted grid...on the back side of the paper, those light fainted grid is more visible, and deeper color(green) **Q: How do I buy it?** A: We have it on a standard order, but if you are located in a town wiht a college or junior college, they will also sell it at a college bookstore. almost all engineering school use this paper ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice paper *by M***A on January 21, 2026* My profesor loved to use it so I had to order 2 of them.
