How does a drafter helps us to draw Parallel lines?
The answer to this is in the question itself. It's The Parallel Linkages, which keeps the scales orientation constant, when its translate.
We can align the scales to any line and move the scale to another position to draw parallel line.
Parallel Linkage: A special case of four bar chain, in which the equal in lengths of opposite sides of the parallelogram ensure that input and output motions remain parallel.
