Wood Pattern-Making: A Text Book for the Use of High School, Trade School, Technical School and College Students (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Wood Pattern-Making: A Text Book for the Use of High School, Trade School, Technical School and College Students
An experience of seventeen years in teaching pattern-making and kindered subjects has made me feel the great need of such a work as this which I now offer as a text-book for students in technical and manual training schools, and universities. A number of excellent books on the subject have been published, to be sure, but most of them assume on their reader's part previous acquaintance with the fundamental ideas of pattern-making; such as do treat at all of the elementary part of the subject, happen to be works of an exhaustive character, which are consequently too expensive for use as text-books. The present work, therefore, will, it is hoped, find a field of usefulness for itself.
It is of course to be recognized that as pattern-making is an art, it cannot be learned simply by reading any book on the subject; but only by practice. Still a textbook may afford valuable assistance even to the artisan. This work, however, has a further and more important purpose, - that of imparting to the engineer or the draftsman the fundamental principles of pattern-making. For only as he is in possession of these can he make designs for patterns in accordance with which shop work can be performed in the most efficient and most economical manner. The reader should also understand that this work, being designed only as an elementary treatise, in no way exhausts the subject. It is claimed however, that the examples of pattern-making submitted indicate, on the whole, the best methods of construction and those most easily understood by the student.
