Excerpt from Practical Perspective: A Treatise Showing Just How to Make All Kinds of Mechanical Drawings in the Only Practical Perspective (Isometric) I suppose it is from constantly seeing working drawings of machinery, and no other representations of it, that mechanics generally are entirely unable to sketch anything in perspective. Yet, in perspective or pictorial work is where free-hand drawing is most valuable to the mechanic. Without perspective or without some representations of more than one side of an object, a drawing is not readily and effectively descriptive to the untrained eye. It seems to me that if mechanics could get hold of the simple principles of isometric projection, it would help them much in making intelligible sketches of machinery. The mechanical draftsman does not use it very commonly, and I suppose the principal reason is the difficulty of drawing ellipses. But this objection does not apply to free-hand drawing at all, because it is just as easy to draw an ellipse by hand as it is a circle, and perhaps a little easier. So I will venture to explain the principles of isometric projection, so that common folks will not be afraid to use it every day, if they choose to. The regulation way of teaching the principles of isometric projection is by the drawing of a cube (Fig. I).

Excerpt from Isometric Drawing a Treatise on Mechanical Illustrating Dealing With Typical Constructions and Outlining: A Course in the Art The writer has been a teacher of mechanical drawing since the year 1895; during this time it has been his privilege and pleasure to instruct many students. As a part of the course administered, each student has been given some instruction and practice in Isometric Drawing; this practice has been limited, because Of lack Of time to devote to it (most Of the time assigned being given to straight mechanical drawing), but has always been Of interest to, and appreciated by, the student.
