A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the course of a large experience as an instructor in drawing and designing, the author of this work has often been called upon to teach the elements of mechanical drawing to students in marine, electrical, railway, and mechanical engineering. Having tried and failed to find a book on the subject that was entirely suitable for his use as a text-book, he has found it necessary to prepare the present work. This course contains, in the authors judgment, a complete and concise statement, accompanied by examples, of the essential principles of mechanical drawing all that any young man of ordinary intelligence needs to master, by careful study, the more advanced problems met with in machine construction and design. Such works as the author has tried, although most excellent from certain standpoints, were either incomplete in some of the divisions of the subject or too voluminous and elementary in the treatment of details. The author does not imagine this work is perfect, but he believes that it comes nearer what is needed in teaching the elements of mechanical drawing in technical schools, high schools, evening drawing schools, and colleges than any work he has examined.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
