Learning what the most common errors are in creating or reading engineering drawings--and then learning how to avoid them altogether--has untold benefits for all engineers, technicians and draftsmen, be they mechanical engineers, product designers, manufacturing engineers, structural engineers, machinists, or others involved the technical graphic information for component, machines and systems. Based on a reference worked developed for engineers and technicicans at Lockheed Martin, readers will find invaluable tips on:

How to understand the data on a drawing

How to avoid dimension and tolerance errors

How to select the proper drawing type for a given engineering objective

Originally published in 1903, this book is a comprehensively detailed guide to technical drawing and machine design. The authors have provided a large number of dimensioned illustrations as examples, illustrations of a great variety of machine details, many rules and tables of proportion and numerous examples showing the application of the principles of mechanics to the calculation of the proportions of parts of machines. The book is packed with illustrations and diagrams and is still of much practical use to today's draughtsman and designer.Contents Include: Various Principles of Mechanics Strength and Nature of Materials Used in Machine Construction Screws, Bolts and Nuts Keys Cotters Pipes and Pipe Joints Shafting and Shaft Couplings Supports for Shafts Belt Gearing Rope Gearing Wire-Rope Gearing Friction Gearing Toothed Gearing Cranks, Cranked Shafts, and Eccentrics Connecting-Rods Cross-Heads and Guides Pistons and Piston-Rods Stuffing-Boxes Valves Riveted Joints Steam Boilers Steam Boilers, General Dimensions Examples of Triple-Expansion Marine Engines Example of Locomotive Engine
