Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Mechanical Drawing: Progressive Exercises and Practical Hints

IT is proper to state that the second part of this book was separately published some time before the first part was written which accounts for the fact that the chapter on Draw ing Instruments is found at the end, and not at the beginning, where it might naturally be looked for.

The exercises contained in Part I embrace the essential features of a course of instruction which has been successfully pursued for twenty years. Those given in the first two chapters are intended not only to train the eye and the hand in the use of instruments, but also to form the habit of exercising forethought, judgment. And taste in relation to the important matter of arrangement.

Reasonable skill in execution having been acquired, the next step is to the delineation of solid objects. And in the treatment of projections the aim is to lead the student to draw these in a matter-oi-fact way, as they would appear from different points of view; the express design being to keep out of sight as far as possible the artificial and often useless stage machinery of Descriptive Geometry.
