Synopsis

This book is an indispensable companion for engineers, architects, and other practitioners in the field of mechanics. Introduced by the author as the application of principles of geometry to the representation of machines, it features a wide range of practical mechanical drawing and machine design problems, with solutions and explanations. The book begins by laying the theoretical foundations of geometrical problems, preparing readers to tackle more challenging topics like the construction of an ellipse or the development of spiral curves with uniform spacing. Additionally, it provides valuable insights into the development of mensuration formulas and their use in determining the surface area and volume of various solids and figures. Through its detailed descriptions and practical examples, this book provides readers with a deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts and techniques used in mechanical design and drawing.
