It has heretofore generally been the custom for each company starting or operating a drafting room, to compile its own set of Standard Practice Sheets at much expense of time and with divers results. This book is an attempt to describe methods and illustrate forms which would be generally applicable in engineering offices and drafting rooms and combine with this the conventional symbols or standards for the different branches of drafting, such as A rchitectural, Electrical, Mechanical, Patent Office, Structural, and Topographical. Provision is also made in the index and at the end of each part for the inclusion of special information, data, instructions, etc., pertaining only to the business of each user, and the addition of which information should be a convenience and a step toward completeness. Parts I and III are intended for those directing a drafting room, as well as draftsmen. The directions for draftsmen and particularly tracers are necessary if uniformity of work is to be attained; otherwise each man will do his work in his own way and the results will be anything but uniform. Part II will be of most value to draftsmen. Here it has been endeavored to give as complete a list of standard symbols as is now available and which either have no traceable parentage or have come into general use through the actions of Government Departments, Committees of the various Engineering and Manufacturers Societies, and recommendations of the Engineering Pubhcations.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
