Mechanical Drawing For Secondary Schools

This volume presents an analysis of mechanical drawing based on its elements, or natural divisions, such as Perspective Sketching, Orthographic Sketching, Pencil Mechanical Drawing, inking, tracing, and reproducing. It contains six chapters and was intended to cover the first two years of mechanical drawing in secondary schools. "Mechanical Drawing for Secondary Schools" is highly recommended for students and apprentices. Chapters include: "Orthographic Sketching", "Advanced Drawing-Sheet Metal Drawing Problems", "Advanced Drawing-Furniture and Cabinet Drawing Problems", "Advanced Drawing-Machine Drawing Problems", "Advanced Drawing-Architectural Drawing problems", "Isometric and Cabinet Drawing", "Pencil Drawing", "Perspective Sketching", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on technical drawing and drafting.

Excerpt from Mechanical Drawing for Secondary Schools This book analyzes mechanical drawing upon the basis of its elements, or natural divisions, such as Perspective Sketch ing, Orthographic Sketching, Pencil Mechanical Drawing, Ink ing, Tracing, and Reproducing. Each one of these divisions is treated separately in a chapter. Each chapter organizes the division of drawing which it represents. Hence in each chap ter there is presented a progressive series of problems in one of the natural divisions of the subject. The book contains six chapters and covers the first two years of mechanical drawing in Secondary Schools. The first four chapters are designed to occupy the time of a class for the first year of the two years' course. As there is a large element of exibility in the selection of problems, no one Individ ual is expected to solve all problems. The course may be easily extended over a period of more than two years, even to three or four years, depending upon the number of problems solved, whether a part or all of the chapters are included in the course, and the time devoted to the subject during each year.
