Notes on Machine Design For the Instruction of Midshipmen (Classic Reprint)

Calculations of the problems will be made on loose paper and smooth copies made in ink on the interleaved pages. For purposes of reference, important headings will be placed in the margin at left of page. Working, free-hand pencil sketches, properly dimensioned, will be made on the interleaved pages. From the working sketches made, the required views of the problems will be pencilled on the drawing paper to proper scale; all the dimensions properly placed in pencil; and the drawing completed for tracing. Methods of use of instruments and of work generally will be given great weight in this course. The drawing paper will be secured on the boards with thumb tacks and centered, and the cutting, border and working lines drawn. Dimensions of these lines: 18 X24 ,16 X22 ,15 X21 respectively. Slight variations may be made, as required, according to judgment and so that a larger scale may be used. There will be one problem on each sheet. Instructions in regard to placing the legend, the number of views required, etc., will be given with each problem. After the drawings are completed in pencil, they will be traced, and two blue prints made.
