A Review from Amazon.com: This text was the basic drafting manual that
I used during my technical education; its use did not end with school,
however, since I refer to it frequently in my occupation. It tells
everything that needs to be explained and described in the general
drawing problems that might be encountered in industrial practice. It
contains excellent descriptions and illustrations for: Drawing
Threads, Fasteners & Springs Geometric Constructions Clear, Concise
instructions in using Drafting Instruments, (before the time of
Computer Aided Drafting & Desinng, in any case). An Excellent overview
of the Industrial Design & Development Process, (which I wish my
supervisors would read). Sectional Drawing. This book is to drafting
what Machinery's Handbook, of the Industrial Press, is to the metal
working industries. There are a variety of Drafting Textbooks
available, but none are incrementally better, let alone drasticaly
better.
