Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Geometry and Engineering Drawing
Two drawing pens, one for fine and the other for thick lines. Great care is required in their use and treatment. They should be held steadily and at a constant angle to the paper. The ink must be introduced between the nibs by means of a small brush or the feather of a quill pen, and as soon as it begins to thicken the points should be wiped clean with blotting-paper previous to refilling. After use drawing pens should be carefully wiped with wash-leather.
Two pairs of compasses, one smaller for use as dividers only, in transferring lengths from scales, setting off distances, &c.; the other larger, with a movable limb which can be replaced at pleasure by an ink or pencil leg. These latter compasses should have needle points. In using dividers care must be taken not to make holes in the paper, a very slight indent being all that is necessary to mark a point.
Two small compasses, one having a fixed pencil and the other a fixed pen leg. These are required for drawing small pencil and ink circles. Both should have needle points and jointed limbs. In drawing circles the jointed limbs of the compasses should be bent so as to stand at right angles to the paper.

Practical Geometry and Engineering Drawing (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book expounds the theory of drawing for engineers. It should be of special value to young engineers unfamiliar with many geometrical problems occurring in engineering practice. It consists of two main parts: plane geometry and solid geometry. In the first part, miscellaneous examples of problems are provided to familiarize the student with the subject, including solutions by pure construction, and the delineation of different curves and figures. The solid geometry section deals with the more directly practical elements for the draughtsman, including the resolution of problems related to the projection of solids. The book is written with clarity, includes a large number of fully explained problems, and appends a considerable number of problems to each chapter. It will also serve as a valuable reference to experienced draughtsmen. Together with the study of this book, practice is vital for true comprehension of descriptive geometry, and this book should constitute a useful companion on that journey.
