Excerpt from A Manual of Engineering Drawing for Students and Draftsmen
Different courses have been designed for different purposes, and criticism is not intended, but it would seem that better unity of method might result if there were a better recognition of the conception that drawing is a real language, to be studied and taught in the same way as any other language. With this conception it may be seen that except for the practice in the handling and use of instruments, and for showing certain stand ards of execution, copying drawings does little more in the study as an art of expression of thought than copying paragraphs from a German book would do in beginning the study of the German language. And it would appear equally true that good pedagogy would not advise taking up composition in a new language before the simple structure of the sentence is understood and appreciated; that is, working drawings would not be considered until after the theory of projection has been explained.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tackles the vital yet often overlooked aspect of engineering drawing as a language, illuminating its significance in the industrial world. The author emphasizes that engineering drawing, much like any other language, has its own grammar, style, and conventions that need to be mastered for effective communication. This approach contrasts with the traditional methods of teaching engineering drawing solely as a set of technical skills, instead highlighting its role as a crucial tool for conveying complex ideas and facilitating collaboration among engineers. The book delves into the fundamental principles of orthographic projection, a core element of engineering drawing that allows for the representation of three-dimensional objects in two dimensions. It explores the creation of developed surfaces and intersections, which are essential for understanding and constructing complex structures. Pictorial representation methods, including isometric and oblique projections, are also examined, providing a clear understanding of how to visually communicate designs. Furthermore, the book explores the practical aspects of working drawings, covering dimensioning, lettering, and the use of conventions for representing standard machine parts and fasteners. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of technical sketching, demonstrating its indispensable role in the engineer's toolkit for quickly capturing and conveying ideas. The book's emphasis on the language of engineering drawing offers a fresh perspective on this vital subject, ultimately revealing its power as a tool for clear communication, collaboration, and the successful realization of complex engineering projects.
