Master the practical art of engineering lettering with a proven, step‑by‑step course.

This historical guide, first issued in 1916, offers a complete program for tracing, forming, and polishing letters and numerals used in technical drawings and drafts. Designed for students, draftsmen, and engineers, the lessons build from basic strokes to more complex letterforms, showing how to achieve consistent size, slant, and spacing through hands‑on practice.

Inside you’ll find a structured sequence of lessons that emphasize technique, control, and repeatable results. Clear instructions cover pen pressure, stroke order, and layout, with notes on adapting lettering to different scales and spaces. The material presents practical exercises, illustration sheets, and instructor feedback to guide steady improvement without relying on theory alone.

Progress from simple strokes to full letterforms used in engineering drafting.
Learn how to maintain consistent height, width, and spacing for clarity and precision.
Understand different pen types, guides, and slopes to achieve clean, legible results.
Study practical examples and feedback that reinforce good habits and accurate alignment.
