Synopsis
Excerpt from A Text-Book of Mechanical Drawing and Elementary Machine Design
To properly prepare students for advanced machine design it has been found necessary to introduce a course designed to apply the principles of mechanical drawing to the solution of practical problems in machine construction and to familiarize the student with the arrangement and proportions of the most important machines and their details recognized by competent engineers to be the best practice of the present time.
It is essential to intelligent study and an economical expenditure of time and labor that, before attempting to design a new machine or improve an old one, the student should post himself with all possible information concerning what has already been done in the same direction.
To this end the present work has been prepared. In it we have attempted to show what is the best United States practice in the design and construction of various machines and details of machines, using rules and formulae whenever feasible in working out practical problems.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a course designed to apply the principles of mechanical drawing to the solution of practical problems in machine construction and to familiarize the student with the arrangement and proportions of the most important machines and their details recognized by competent engineers to be the best practice of the present time. It demonstrates what is the best United States practice in the design and construction of various machines and details of machines, using rules and formulae whenever feasible in working out practical problems. The book also includes the latest and most approved drafting-room methods in use in the field, which are essential for creating useful drawings. Up to its time of publication, no book had been published in the United States that could fill this need as explained above. While preparing this course for sophomore students in Sibley College, the authors endeavored to secure samples of the actual machines or parts of machines as collateral in illustrating the exercises given in the book, with the result that they have within their drafting rooms many examples of modern machine construction placed convenient to the students' hands, so that they may examine and handle the actual things themselves while solving the problems in drawing and designing. This is believed to be of great importance in the study of machine design and construction, because few are able to describe a machine even with the assistance of a drawing so well as to enable the student to conceive it in his mind as it actually is. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330284834_0
