Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essentials of Drafting a Text and Problem Book, for Apprentice, Trade and Evening Technical Schools
The evening technical school has been rapidly developing during recent years. From a makeshift it is coming to occupy a field distinctly its own. The ambitious man attending an evening technical school is fully the equal of his brother at the day technical school and his worth is being increasingly realized.
The foundation subjects mathematics, mechanics, and draw ing - require particular attention in evening courses, where the time may be somewhat limited and the needs of the student varied. This book has been prepared for Ohio Technical Draw ing School students as part of a technical course.
Progress in engineering work of any kind depends upon an intimate knowledge of mechanical drafting as the language of the engineering world. Its possibilities must be understood. The mere drawing of lines and more or less copying of exercises or sketching from a few models is far from the purpose of a draw ing course. The value of drawing as one of the working tools to be treasured and used during a lifetime in the most useful of professions, engineering, should be realized. It is as an aid in the study, and later use of engineering knowledge, that drawing finds its place. These preliminary remarks may serve to explain the makeup of the book.
