Description
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.
Isometric Drawing is growing in popular usefulness, and one can hardly pick up a technical paper or magazine without finding one or more examples; its convenience and its adaptability are being recognized, and a knowledge of its execution is desirable and necessary for all draughtsmen.
All treatments of the subject known to the writer accompany a treatise on Descriptive Geometry, or are too short; in every case the subject is treated with more attention to theory than to its practicability.
The broad field for its use, its growing popularity, the enthusiasm with which a student "takes hold," and the nature of the present (known to the writer) texts on the subject have led the writer to believe that a plain exposition of the "How" of the art, with no reference to the "Why," may be of some service to teachers, students, and draughtsmen.
It is, therefore, with the object of presenting the subject in a new light or way, in the hope that others may find the art as useful as the writer has found it, in the hope of service, and not in the nature of a "This is better than thine" spirit, or in criticism of what has been written, that this work is offered.
