Synopsis
Excerpt from The Principles of Graphic Statics
Tim study of Graphic Statics, as a subject sui generis, has made but little progress in England, though the great value of numerous Graphic methods has long been fully acknowledged. While in many of the great Engineering Schools of the Continent the subject is deemed worthy of a professional chair, in England it is left to be gleaned almost hap-h'azard. A method more or less is thrown into a course of teaching, according to the predilection, or dislike of the teacher for Graphic modes of procedure.
And yet the subject is valuable, not merely as a means to an end, but as a part of mental training. A mind brought up only on mathematical symbols is but half trained: the Graphic is the complement of the Analytical process. And the power conferred by Graphic method is to a large extent at the disposal of those who have had but little mathematical training. The writer once had occasion to explain a practical application of the triangle of forces to a class of working men, who seemed at once to grasp and appreciate it.
