this unit of competency you will have developed the knowledge and skills to select the correct and interpret a technical drawing. As a result, you will be able to apply these skills to interpret technical drawing.

This book has been written for the student who is taking drafting either to satisfy a curriculum requirement or as an elective, but who is not a drafting major. This student usually wishes to gain a basic working knowledge of drafting fundamentals so that he can apply it to other courses, but he is often hindered in obtaining this knowledge by a combination of limited class time and large class enrollments. To make it easier for the student to learn from this text, the material is presented using a step-by-step problem-solving format accompanied by many illustrations. This written portion of the text may be described as a "how to" approach. The idea is to present not only drafting theory, but also the procedures and conventions used to apply the theory. This will enable the student to work directly from the text to the board while doing his class and homework drawings. The scope of the material presented has been limited to those subjects most often needed to prepare technical drawings, with heavy emphasis on orthographic views and dimensioning. Fasteners, oblique, isometric and development drawings are also covered. Although limited in scope, the material is presented in depth.

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1919 Edition.

This book was designed to help students acquire requisite knowledge and practical skills in technical drawing presentation and practices. The contents were scripted to prepare students for technical, diploma and degree examinations in engineering technology, technical vocations and draughtsmanship in other professions in the monotechnics, polytechnics and universities. At the end of each chapter are lists of examination standard exercises that will help students perfect their skill and proficiency in technical drawing works. Therefore, student should be able to; Understand the principles and techniques of drawing presentation and projections in geometry Understand the applications of solid geometry Understand the principles and application of free hand sketching Understand the principles of constructing conic-sections and development of surfaces

This book has been designed as a teaching tool and a self-study guide to learn AutoCAD and AutoLISP. Contents have been presented in a pedagogical format by delivering the fundamental concepts first, then moving toward the more advanced and specialized features of AutoCAD. The book covers 2D and 3D drawing in addition to AutoLISP. This book will be a unique choice for the engineers, planners, architects, and others who need to learn AutoCAD and AutoLISP.

This is the right book for users if they're new to AutoCAD or want to brush up on the basics, they're looking for a clear, no nonsense, easy-to-follow text, or they want to learn AutoCAD quickly and easily. All exercises print easily on a standard 8-1/2 "" X 11"" printer. It is suitable for use with the PC version of AutoCAD 2014 only. Features: totally updated for AutoCAD 2014 and 2014 LT; AutoCAD 2014 30-Day Trial Version included on the enclosed DVD; ideal for classroom instruction or as a self-study tutorial; provides only what the user needs without all of the jargon; includes 30 lessons with step by step instructions followed by exercises designed for practicing the commands learned within the lesson; each lesson starts very simple and progresses to more complex; the approach taken is to familiarize users with the drawing commands first, and then teach users to create their own setup drawings; and, each lesson is explained clearly and in a non-intimidating manner.

2013 Reprint of 1908 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This title illustrates the most important mechanical movements in dynamics, hydraulics, hydrostatics, pneumatics, steam engines, mill and other gearing, presses, horology, and miscellaneous machinery; and including many movements never previously published, and several which had only recently come into use as of 1868, the first date of publication for this classic title. This 1868 compendium of ingenious mechanisms employs simple drawings to explain 507 of the small components that constitute complex machinery. Left-hand pages feature illustrations, and facing pages offer brief descriptions of their use and operation. Ranging from simple to complex, the mechanisms include cranks, pulleys, drills, wheels, and screws.

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
