LCCN: 65-16867 ; xiii, 261 pp. ; 26 cm. ; black cloth, no dustjacket ; name on front endpaper ; Contents: Reference planes -- The basic lines and planes -- Basic auxiliary views -- Points and lines -- Lines and planes -- Revolution -- Force diagrams -- Point, line, and plane relations with cylinders, cones and spheres -- Conic sections and their applications -- Mining, geology and civil engineering -- Curved surfaces -- Plane and curved surface intersections -- Developments, transitions and the helix -- Intersection of surfaces -- graphical accuracy -- Visualization puzzles ; "This revision is mainly an elaboration of the text's major theme: the correlation and integration of theory with practive instead of the consideration of each as a separate entity.Numerous new illustrations have been prepared and others enlarged to further broaden the scope of understanding of the fundamentals.pracical applications of items such as angles between planes, angles between lines and planes, bent tubing, noncircular cylinders, hyperboloid of revolution, hyperbolic paraboloid, conoid, cow's horn and parabolid have been included in this revision.full treatment of convolute transitions is given as well as an explanation of how a nomogram is used to improve the accuracy of the development of an oblique cone.the direct method is used because it is the only deasible method to use with practical problems. Since the origin of the direct method may be of interest to many, a brief history follows." ; interesting photos of architectural examples of practical applications and of industrial machinery, includes the St. Louis Planetarium, Restaurant in Huntsville, Alabama, the Mark Twain Memorial Shrine, Mexican Stock Exchange, the St. Louis Priory, and Independent Congregation Church, St. Louis ; VG.
