CONTENTS
Preface lx
INTRODUCTION 3
1.
This chapter outlines thegraphic language in theory and practice
GRAPHIC INSTRUMENTS AND THEIR USE 29
2.
Accurate representation of shape, relationship, and size is
accomplished through the useof instruments
GRAPHIC GEOMETRY 71
3.
Accurate, concise representation requires a knowledgeof
geometric constructions
LETTERING 113
4.
Complete graphic depiction and specification requires word
supplements
5. ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWING AND SKETCHING 131
Orthographic drawing and sketching is the basicgraphic form of
representation for design and construction drawings.
6. AUXILIARY VIEWS 203
Auxiliary views are special projections used to clarify and complete
orthographic descriptions of shape
SECTIONAL VIEWS AND CONVENTIONS 235
7.
These special views and practices are specific aids to complete
and accurate orthographic representation
VI CONTENTS
8. PICTORIAL DRAWING AND SKETCHING 265
Pictorial methods are used either asa basic form of shape
description or as a supplement to orthographic depiction
9. METHODS USED IN MANUFACTURE 325
Concise and complete specification of size requires a knowledge of
manufacturing procedures
10. DIMENSIONS, NOTES, LIMITS, AND
PRECISION 341
These aretheelements used to describe size, which along with a
description of shape comprise a completegraphic representation
11. CHARTS, GRAPHS, AND DIAGRAMS 405
These aregraphic representationsof data and are fundamental to
all of science and engineering
12. SURFACE INTERSECTIONS 427
Geometric components of an object or assembly meet in
intersections which must be shown in order to complete the
graphic description
DEVELOPED VIEWS 447
13.
These show a representation of the shape and sizeof thin
material used to make an object by folding, rolling, or forming
14. COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND NUMERICAL
CONTROL 465
A discussion of the computer and its importance in graphics
15. DRAWINGS FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN
AND CONSTRUCTION 483
This chapter discusses professional practices employed in the
makingof design, detail, assembly, production, construction, and
other drawings
