Présentation de l'éditeur
Preface. The object of this work is to provide a simple, practical course of progressive lessons in Mechanical Drawing. It will be noticed that all instructions are given in connection with a special, concrete exercise, instead of being presented in an abstract and general manner; furthermore, the didactic principle of one thing at a time has been followed as much as possible. No practical draughtsman will criticise us for not starting with the traditional geometric problems that, from time immemorial, have adorned the introductory pages of Manuals of Mechanical Drawing. We have reason to believe that the average student does not appreciate the beauty and use of Euclid sG eometry and Monge sD escriptive Geometry, if these subjects are introduced deore their bearing and practical application are understood. We reserve the introduction of such scientific work for a second part, hoping thereby to arouse an interest in advanced problems that necessitate strictly mathematical constructions. The subject is best taught with the use of models, instead of sketches and pictorial illustrations. A glance through the book will convince the teacher that a set of models corresponding to the exercises can be easily procured. The result of the instruction will then be real instead of imaginary, since the student knows absolutely what his drawings represent, and need not rely on an untrained imagination.

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.

This book provides a simple, practical course of progressive lessons in Mechanical Drawing, guiding readers through the fundamental principles and techniques of mechanical drafting. It offers clear, concise instructions, focusing on one concept at a time, ensuring easy comprehension for students of varying levels. The author acknowledges the traditional geometric problems that have adorned introductory pages of mechanical drawing manuals since time immemorial but asserts that most students fail to appreciate their beauty and use without first understanding their bearing and practical application. In this book, the author reserves the introduction of such scientific work for a second part, hoping to arouse interest in advanced problems that necessitate strictly mathematical constructions. Throughout the book, emphasis is placed on readability and clarity. All instructions are given in connection with a specific concrete exercise, rather than presented in an abstract and general manner, to make learning more engaging and relatable. Dimensioning drawings, using dividers and bow pens, sectional views, shading, lettering, reading of drawings, and the drawing of screws and cog wheels are among the vast array of topics covered in this book. This practical course is useful for high school students, apprentices, young mechanics, and anyone interested in learning the basics of Mechanical Drawing. With its emphasis on clarity, progressive lessons, and a focus on real-world applications, this book is set to become an indispensable resource for aspiring mechanical draftsmen.
