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.
