Preface to Basic Engineering Drawing by R.S. Rhodes and L.B. Cook

This e book comprises what we contemplate to be the “fundamentals” of Engineering Drawing. Orthographic Projection, Conventions, Sectioning, Pictorial Illustration and Dimensioning have been coated intimately as we really feel {that a} thorough understanding of those subjects kinds a sound basis upon which to construct.

All technical data, examples, workout routines and options have been compiled in accordance with the newest “metric” drawing workplace requirements – B.S. 308:1972.

The e book has not been written for any particular course however might be profitably used each by college students being launched to Engineering Drawing and additionally by those that have acquired somewhat data of the topic and want to consolidate and improve their understanding by working by means of rigorously graded workout routines.

It ought to show helpful for Craft, Technician (T.E.C.), O.N.D., C.S.E. and G.C.E. college students and additionally for these H.N.D. and Diploma college students with little drawing expertise.

The e book is seen primarily as a scholar self-educator although little doubt many lecturers will discover it helpful as a reference supply and/or train “financial institution” .

Matters have been offered in an analogous method wherever potential. Usually the opening web page introduces the subject, the subsequent imparts the essential details – visually reasonably than verbally wherever potential.

An illustrative instance is supplied to assist understanding and that is adopted by a sequence of rigorously graded workout routines.

We’re properly conscious of the risks of presenting workout routines that are recognized to comprise errors. They’ve been included as a result of in our expertise they’re the widespread misconceptions amongst college students of engineering drawing.

In all circumstances the proper methodology and solutions are given, some- instances instantly following the instance, or within the options on the finish of the e book.

It should be emphasised that this e book not solely transmits data it is usually a work-book. Don’t be afraid of drawing and writing on the pages! If most profit is to be derived from the e book then the previous maxim, “I do and I perceive” should be the scholars’ information.

We thank these individuals whose observations and strategies have helped us enhance upon the primary version of the e book. We additionally want to thank the British Requirements Establishment for permitting, usf to make use of extracts from B.S. 308:1972.

Orthographic Projection

There are a lot of alternative ways of speaking concepts, data, directions, requests, and so forth. They are often transmitted by indicators or gestures, by phrase of mouth, in writing, or graphically.

In an industrial context the graphical methodology is usually used, communication being achieved by technique of engineering drawings.

If oral and written communication solely have been used when coping with technical issues, misunderstandings may come up, notably in relation to form and dimension.

The dearth of a common spoken language makes communication and understanding much more troublesome due to the need to translate each phrases and which means from one language to a different.

Nonetheless, the universally accepted strategies utilized in graphical communication by means of engineering drawings remove many of those difficulties and make it potential for drawings ready by a British designer to be appropriately interpreted or “learn” by, for instance, his German, French or Dutch counterpart.

Equally vital, the parts proven on the drawings might be made by suitably expert craftsmen of any nationality supplied they will “learn” an engineering drawing.

Conventionally ready engineering drawings present the principle technique of communication between the “concepts” males (the designers and draughtsmen) and the craftsmen (machinists, fitters, assemblers, and so forth.).

For the communication to be efficient, everybody involved should interpret the drawings in the identical approach. Solely then will the completed product be precisely because the designer envisaged it.

To make sure uniformity of interpretation the British Requirements Establishment have ready a booklet entitled BS 308:1972, Engineering Drawing Apply .

Now in three elements, this publication recommends the strategies which needs to be adopted for the preparation of drawings used within the engineering trade.

The requirements and conventions in most typical use and therefore these required for a primary understanding of Engineering Drawing are illustrated and defined on this e book.
