Elementary Mechanical Drawing

This volume comprises collection of notes originally intended to provide a basis for a course in elementary mechanical drawing. Designed for students on engineering courses, it provides a comprehensive foundation to mechanical drawing and is highly recommended for artists, engineers, architects, and others with a practical interest in technical drawing and drafting. Contents include: 'Kinds of Letters in Common Use', 'Lettering in Design', 'Variations in Width, Height, etc.', 'Suitability of Letters', 'The Roman and Gothic Capitals and Small Letters and Numerals', 'Off-hand Lettering', 'The Old Roman and Roman-Gothic Letters', 'Titles', 'Bills of Materials', 'Orthographic Projection', 'Drawing as a Science', et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on technical drawing and drafting.
