Excerpt from Machine Shop Drawings: Reading Drawings, Making Shop Sketches, Laying Out Work This little book is intended to be a help to those who do not thoroughly understand the reading of drawings rather than an attempt to teach drawing itself. It shows how seen and unseen portions are represented, the use of full and dotted lines, the way in which different views are drawn and how to study them all so as to secure a correct idea of the shape of the piece represented. Many actual examples are given from the drawing-room practice of the leading shops in this country and the meaning of each carefully explained. A little attention is given to laying out work such as gearing of different kinds, to laying out angles without the aid of any but the crudest instruments, and a number of things which should be useful in many ways. The few examples and hints in regard to sketching should also be of value, especially to those of an inventive turn of mind or those who must convey ideas to others for any purpose. In short it aims to be of service in enabling any one mechanically inclined to have a better grasp of the meaning of working drawings so that he can read them as he would an open book.
