Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineer Draughtsmen's Work: Hints for Beginners IN preparing this little book the author has not aimed at imparting information to the practised draughtsman, and if any such should take it up and peruse it, they might consider it trite or commonplace. On the other hand, there are a large number of aspiring young men in schools, colleges, and workshops who desire to obtain entrance into drawing offices, but are perhaps in considerable ignorance of the work carried on in such places, or of what will be required from them whe/zn there, and also of the instruments and appliances which they will need. It is to these that the author more particularly desires to a idress himself, and if, after they'have read this book, they find that they have derived any pleasure and profit from it, he will feel that his aim has been accomplished.

This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practical Draughtsman's Book of Industrial Design: Forming a Complete Course of Mechanical, Engineering, and Architectural Drawing The sixth division is, in effect, a continuation of the fifth. It comprises the theory and practice of drawing Bevil, Conical, or Angular Wheels, with details of the construction of the wood patterns, and notices of peculiar forms of some gearing, as well as the eccentrics employed in mechanical construction. The seventh division comprises the studies of the shading and shadows of the principal solids - Prisms, Pyramids, Cylinders, and Spheres, together with their applications to mechanical and architectural details, as screws, spur and bevil wheels, coppers and furnaces, columns and entab'latures. These studies naturally lead to that of colours single, as those of China. Ink or Sepia, or varied also of graduated shades produced by successive flat tints, according to one method, or by the softening manipulation of the brush, according to another. The pupil may now undertake designs of greater complexity, leading him in the eighth division to various figures representing combined or general elevations, as well as sections and details of various complete machines, to which are added some geometrical drawings, explanatory of the action of the moving parts of machinery. The ninth completes the study of Industrial Design, with oblique projections and parallels, and exact perspective. In the study of exact perspective, special applications of its rules are made to architecture and machinery by the aid of a perspective elevation of a corn mill supported on columns, and fitted up with all the necessary gearing. A'series of Plates, marked, A, B, &c., are also interspersed throughout the work, as examples of finished drawings of machinery. The Letterpress relating to these Plates, together with an illustrated chapter on Drawing Instruments, will form'an appro priste Appendix to the Volume. The general explanatory text embraces not only a description of the objects and their movements, but also tables and practical rules, more particularly those relating to the dimensions of the principal details of machinery, as facilitating actual construction.

Download or read book First Principles of Mechanical and Engineering Drawing Classic Reprint written by H. Holt-Butterfill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Principles of Mechanical and Engineering Drawing The greater part Of the subject matter Of this book appeared in a series Of articles in the Mechanical World. The purpose in writing it is SO fully explained in the Introduction that a Preface is hardly required. AS the forms given to the various parts Of a machine or engine are on analysis invariably found to be combinations Of certain geometrical Solids, a knowledge Of how each Of these Should be drawn when in any position should be first acquired by the student draughts man. TO this end a series Of problems is given in the following pages, commencing with the construction of those Simple geometrical figures which form the surfaces Of the solids which give Shape to mechanical details, and subsequently the method adopted in representing the solids themselves, singly and in combination. AS no amount Of copying drawings Of mechanical details will ever give the student a knowledge Of the reasons why they are made to take the special forms given to them, SO in the earlier stages Of the study Of mechanical drawing it is impossible for him to acquire the power to draw the Simplest solids in different positions correctly without a knowledge Of the principles Of Orthographic Projection, which is the basis Of the representation Of all solid Objects. In this part Of the subject an extended series Of problems is given, the solution Of which Should enable the student to draw any Simple Object without further help. In the method Of studying the contents Of this work, the student is advised to take the different parts Of the subject in the order in which they are arranged, as he will thereby be led to acquire a mastery Of it in a way that will impress upon his mind the connection that each part bears to that which follows. The order Of study may not be that usually followed, but it is such as an association Of many years with draughtsmen and students has proved to the author to be the best for the acquisition Of the preliminary knowledge necessary to the successful practice Of the draughtsman's art.

This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Engineer's Sketch-Book of Mechanical Movements, Devices, Appliances Every successful engineer is a born inventor; indeed the daily work of an engineer in practice largely consists of scheming and devising from previous experience new and improved processes, methods, and details for accomplishing them, and for simplifying or cheapenin g old forms of machinery and the work they produce, to enable him to successfully compete with others, who are perhaps as ingenious and enterprising as himself. In the work of designing machinery the draughtsman has to rely mainly on his memory for inspiration; and, for lack of an idea, has frequently to wade through numerous volumes to find a detail or move ment to efi'ect a particular purpose. Hence, as a rule, every man's work runs in a groove, his productions generally having the stamp of his particular experience and training clearly marked upon them.

Download or read book Civil Engineering Specifications and Contracts Classic Reprint written by Richard I. D. Ashbridge and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil Engineering Specifications and Contracts In engineering work, often involving millions of dollars and the labor of thousands of men for months, there can be no more important matters for the interested parties to consider than exactly what is to be done, how it. is to be done, and what it is going to cost. An important contractual relation, which is to last sometimes for years, is to be entered into and, to avoid trouble and litigation, the "meeting of the minds" must be exact on all points. On the one hand the interests of the corporation or individual for whom the work is to be done must be carefully safeguarded; on the other hand, no injustice must be done the contractor, nor any provisions introduced or omitted which will prevent him from making an honest profit on his work. The author, who has a wide experience in Civil Engineering work, has tried first to develop a logical system of preparing specifications, and to present a method of avoiding the mistakes and omissions all too common in papers of this kind. He has also attempted to cover all types of specifications from railroad work, bridges, culverts, excavations, fills, tunnels, and road-beds to country and city paving. In addition to typical specifications, the proposal, agreement, and contract forms are discussed and illustrated. Advice is also given as to the points to be considered and avoided in drawing up a set of specifications and in properly drafting a contract. Altogether, a thorough presentation of this important subject has been given and it is hoped that this volume will be a distinct contribution to engineering literature.

Download or read book The Assistant Engineer Vol 1 written by Jean P. Genthon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Assistant Engineer, Vol. 1: The Axeman This series is designed for the young man who, desirous of making engineering in the Public Service his career, wishes to take a Civil Service examination. If successful, his name will be placed on the eligible list and he will in time see open to him the doors of a Government, State or City Department. The plan of, this work is as follows: The Assistant Engineer must know not only his duties but those of the men under his charge. Therefore each position is taken or each rung of the engineering ladder is ascended in turn beginning with that most easily obtainable, and. In. that work, are explained to the man occupying that position or striving for it. 1. The requirements for the Government, the State and County of New York, and the City of New York Civil Service, with the scope of the examinations, the ratings and questions given at previous examinations. 2 .The scientific requirements or what the candidate should know. 3. The technical requirements, or knowledge and use of the instruments, and duties in the field and in the office. Although the requirements for the higher positions demand a knowledge of higher mathematics, the author has had the same experience as Mr. Wm. F. Shunk. In his long practice there had never come before him a question, which could not be satisfactorily solved by elementary mathematics. It will be noticed that certain technical examination questions for a position may seem to belong properly to the grade next higher. This is due to the necessity where the examiners are placed of raising occasionally the standard of an examination in order to draw out the very best material among the always increasing number of applicants. We therefore recommend the prospective candidate to study a little further than would seem necessary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Engineer Engineering is a profession so old that it has never been traced to its beginnings. When we get back to the misty boundary between the earliest accurate historical records and that vague time which we know as "pre-history," we find extraordinary monuments to the genius of engineering which have already been standing for centuries. All the recent progress of archaeological discoveries has not brought our knowledge of the pyramids of Egypt, for instance, beyond the speculative stage, yet they are among the engineering marvels of all time. The methods employed in the construction of the Grand Canal of China, a waterway 700 miles long, with 75 locks, built 30 centuries ago, can only be guessed at.

Download or read book A Manual of Locomotive Engineering written by William Frank Pettigrew and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Locomotive Engineering: With an Historical Introduction IN this work the Locomotive Engine is looked at chiefly from the point of view of the Designer or Locomotive Draughtsman, and the scope and treatment have been mainly determined with reference to his needs. The require ments of the Engineer generally, who may desire to ascertain the practice of the Locomotive Engineer, and the needs of the Student have, however, also been kept steadily in view. The aim has been not only to set out the most successful and generally approved modern practice, but to set it out in such manner as to aid in its intelligent adaptation, in accordance with general mechanical principles, to changed conditions or to further development. At the same time the book is intended to be of a thoroughly practical nature; and the calculations which it has been necessary to employ are accordingly suited, as far as possible, for every day use in the Engineer's Drawing Omoe. There is given, after a brief historical introduction, an enumeration of particulars concerning the leading types and classes of locomotives at present in use in this country, both simple and compound. This is followed by a description of the methods of determining those factors or elements in the design of a locomotive which in large measure furnish the data for the subsequent working out of detail, but which themselves arise immediately from the conditions as to speed, loads, character of the roads, and so forth, prescribed, it may almost be said, to the Locomotive Engineer from with out. The detailed construction and design of the various parts and fittings of the modern locomotive are then dealt with in a series of chapters ending with the eighteenth, and material for a comparison between British and foreign practice is also afforded by the chapter on American and Continental locomotives.
