Publisher's Synopsis
""Notes on Practical Mechanical Drawing"" is a comprehensive guidebook for mechanical drawing, written by Victor Tyson Wilson and first published in 1909. The book covers a wide range of topics related to mechanical drawing, including the principles of geometric construction, the use of instruments and tools, and the techniques for creating accurate and detailed drawings. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of mechanical drawing. The first section provides an overview of the basic principles of geometry and the tools and materials used in mechanical drawing. The second section focuses on the techniques for creating accurate and detailed drawings, including the use of scales, compasses, and protractors. The third section of the book covers the use of mechanical drawing in engineering design, including the creation of plans and elevations, sections and details, and machine drawings. The fourth section covers the use of mechanical drawing in manufacturing and production, including the creation of patterns, templates, and jigs. Throughout the book, Wilson provides clear and concise explanations of the various techniques and principles of mechanical drawing, and includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers better understand the material. The book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in mechanical drawing, from students and hobbyists to professional engineers and designers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
