Introduction

This volume analyses mechanical drawing based on its elements, or natural divisions, such as perspective sketching, orthographic sketching, pencil mechanical drawing, inking, tracing, and reproducing. It contains six chapters and was originally intended to cover the first two years of a mechanical drawing course in secondary schools. This book is highly recommended for students and would be of considerable utility to anyone with an interest in mechanical drawing.
