Book Description
Excerpt from Blueprint Reading: A Practical Manual of Instruction in Blueprint Reading Through the Analysis of Typical Plates With Reference to Mechanical Drawing Conventions and Methods, the Laws of Projection, Etc Blueprints are the language by which a designer expresses his thoughts to the fabricator. They may represent some complicated machine which will be made in fifty separate pieces and will go together like a jig puzzle; they may represent the specifications for a big bridge or roof truss which will guide the steel fabricator in the assembly of angles, channels, and eye-beams into a riveted unit of steel, just the right span and supporting power for the place it is intended to fill; they may consist of the elevation and plans of a house, showing foundation, framing, outside and inside finish, electric wiring, water and gas piping - in fact every detail necessary to make the building complete. These specifications were originally made by draftsmen, skilled in the art of mechanical drawing. These men had first to lay the foundation for the more advanced work by learning the kind of equipment necessary for drawings of various kinds, the use of the T-square, the triangle, the ruling pen, and all the other instruments which must be used from time to time. They had to train their eyes to visualize objects and measure distances and their hands to draw with precision lines of uniform width and accurate direction. They had to learn the rules of geometrical construction; the methods of representing plans and elevations of objects; and the principles of orthographic and isometric projection andprofile work. It would be well if every workman were able to make good mechanical drawings, for with the ability to make them would come the ability to interpret them. But there are often many reasons why this is not possible, and it is with the idea of giving the requisite amount of drafting knowledge and practice in visualizing the finished product from plans, elevations, and sections that this little volume has been prepared. With a careful study of the lessons herein laid down will come the ability to "read" a blueprint like a book, to translate every shade of meaning intended by the designer, and thus to be able to carry out the job in an accurate, efficient, and workman-like manner.
