Text Bk Of Mechanical Drawing

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Mechanical Drawing and Elementary Machine Design To properly prepare students for advanced machine design it has been found necessary to introduce a course designed to apply the principles of mechanical drawing to the solution of practical problems in machine construction and to familiarize the student with the arrangement and proportions of the most important machines and their details recognized by competent engineers to be the best practice of the present time. It is essential to intelligent study and an economical expenditure of time and labor that, before attempting to design a new machine or improve an old one, the student should post himself with all possible information concerning what has already been done in the same direction. To this end the present work has been prepared. In it we have attempted to show what is the best United States practice in the design and construction of various machines and details of machines, using rules and formulas whenever feasible in working out practical problems. In addition to this will be found the latest and most approved drafting-room methods in use in this country, without which most drawings would be practically useless.

Excerpt from An Elementary d104-Book on Mechanical Drawing Believing that a youth cannot understand the use of a mechanical drawing unless he has some Idea of the Object and use of the detail, together with the methods of manufacture, examples are incorporated to bring out these points. The book is primarily intended for those students engaged in engineering work who do not have the opportunity to pass through the drawing office, to enable them to take greater interest in the work passing through their hands, by making them familiar with drawing office processes and methods. When used as a text-book, and supplemented by the experience of the teacher in the ordinary way, it will most likely be useful to those students who have not yet commenced their practical career, but who 'wish to obtain some knowledge of mechanical drawing. For those students actually engaged in drawing office work, many points worthy of attention are incorporated.
