Excerpt from The Theory of Engineering Drawing
Although the subject matter of this volume is, in large measure, identical with that of many treatises on descriptive geometry, the author has called it Theory of Engineering Drawing, believing that this title indicates better than could any other, the ultimate purpose of the book. That texts on descriptive geometry appear with some degree of frequency, with but few, if any, additions to the theory, indicates that teachers are aware of certain weaknesses in existing methods of presenting the subject. It is precisely these weakness that the present work aims to correct.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive treatise on descriptive geometry, a branch of mathematics concerned with the representation of 3-dimensional objects on a 2-dimensional surface. It is a valuable tool for engineers, architects, and artists, providing the foundation for accurate representation and interpretation of objects in space. The book covers a wide range of topics, including oblique projections, orthographic projections, axonometric projections, and principles of parallel projecting-line drawing. The author presents the subject matter in a clear and logical manner, building upon basic concepts to develop more complex ideas. The book includes numerous examples and exercises to reinforce understanding and provide practical application of the principles discussed. The author emphasizes the importance of orthographic projection, a technique that allows for precise representation of objects in three dimensions. Through detailed explanations and illustrations, the book guides readers through the process of creating orthographic projections, covering topics such as the theory of orthographic projection, revolution of horizontal and vertical planes, and the location of projections with respect to each other. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of descriptive geometry. Its comprehensive coverage, clear explanations, and practical examples make it an essential reference for students, professionals, and anyone interested in the representation of 3-dimensional objects in 2-dimensional space. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
