Excerpt from A Course in Mechanical Drawing In the course of a large experience as an instructor in drawing and designing, the author of this work has often been called upon to teach the elements of mechanical drawing to students in marine, electrical, railway, and mechanical engineering. Having tried and failed to find a book on the subject that was entirely suitable for his use as a text-book, he has found it necessary to prepare the present work. This course contains, in the authors judgment, a complete and concise statement, accompanied by examples, of the essential principles of mechanical drawing - all that any young man of ordinary intelligence needs to master, by careful study, the more advanced problems met with in machine construction and design. Such works as the author has tried, although most excellent from certain standpoints, were either incomplete in some of the divisions of the subject or too voluminous and elementary in the treatment of details. The author does not imagine this work is perfect, but he believes that it comes nearer what is needed in teaching the elements of mechanical drawing in technical schools, high schools, evening drawing schools, and colleges than any work he has examined.
