A discussion of hand-drafting with geometric exercises for various difficulty levels, covering working drawings, tools and conventions used in the trade, pattern-workshop drawings, penetrations, and more, with illustrations and a glossary.
This unique book combines coverage of both mechanical and electrical drafting. The book combines coverage of both basic mechanical/manual drafting techniques and electrical drafting techniques in a single volume. The book introduces AutoCAD Release 13 commands, both DOS and Windows, in the electrical/electronic portion of the book. It presents electronic component outlines, symbols, schematics and printed circuit board techniques. Every chapter includes exercises and projects. Appropriate for readers interested in Drafting, Electrical Drafting, Drawing and Sketching.
About the Book: Written by three distinguished authors with ample academic and teaching experience, this textbook, meant for diploma and degree students of Mechanical Engineering as well as those preparing for AMIE examination, incorporates the latest st
Scenic effects involving rotating turntables, tracking stage wagons, and the vertical movement of curtains and painted drops have become common in both Broadway and Regional theatre productions. The machines that drive these effects range from small pneumatic cylinders pushing loads of a few pounds an inch or two, to 40 horsepower winches running multi-ton scenery at speeds 6 feet per second or more. Usually this machinery is designed by theatre technicians specifically for a particular show's effect. Compared to general industry, this design process is short, often only a few days long, it is done by one person, design teams are rare, and it is done in the absence of reference material specifically addressing the issues involved. The main goal of this book is to remedy this last situation. Mechanical Design for the Stage will be a reference for you that will: * provide the basic engineering formulas needed to predict the forces, torques, speeds, and power required by a given move * give a technician a design process to follow which will direct their work from general concepts to specific detail as a design evolves, and * show many examples of traditional stage machinery designs. The book's emphasis will be on following standard engineering design and construction practices, and developing machines that are functional, efficient to build, easily maintained, and safe to use.
"Mechanical Drafting" is a complete and detailed handbook on technical drawing intended for students of engineering and related subjects. This profusely illustrated guide contains information on all aspects of mechanic drafting and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Lettering, Freehand and Mechanical", "Use of Instruments", "Orthographic Projection", "Working Drawings", "Fasteners, Threads, Bolts and Nuts, etc", "Shop Terms, Tools, Machines, etc", "Isometric and Oblique Projection", "Machine Sketching", "Perspective", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on technical drawing and drafting. This book was first published in 1915.
