Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mechanical Drawing: Prepared for the Use of the Students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, Mass
Place either edge of either triangle so as to coincide exactly with the given line. Place the other triangle (or any straight edge) against one of the other edges of the first triangle. Then, holding the second triangle, or straight edge, securely in this position with the left hand, move the first one, still keeping the two edges in contact. Any line drawn along the edge which originally coincided with the line AB will be parallel to it.
