Textbook Of Mechanical Drawing: Being An Explanation Of The Principles Of Geometry And Orthographic Projection, The Helix, And Toothed Gearing (1902)

By John S. Rooke

Book Overview

The ""Textbook of Mechanical Drawing"" is a comprehensive guide to the principles of geometry and orthographic projection, as well as the concepts of the helix and toothed gearing. Written by John S. Rooke in 1902, this book is intended to provide a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of mechanical drawing. The author explains the principles of geometry in detail, including the use of angles, lines, and curves in drawing. The book also covers orthographic projection, which is the process of creating a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional object. The helix, a spiral shape that is commonly found in mechanical designs, is explained in depth, along with its applications in drawing. The final section of the book focuses on toothed gearing, which is the process of using gears to transmit power between two or more mechanical components. Overall, this book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in mechanical drawing, from beginners to professionals.As They Are Applied By Mechanical Draftsmen, With Rules For Screw Cutting.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
