Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a structured method for drawing plane curves based on geometry principles, helping engineering students and practicing draughtsmen explore technical drawing as never before. The author introduces the basic tools and techniques, before discussing the properties of conic sections and showing readers how to apply these properties to construct curves from given data to any extent of accuracy. The book goes beyond the basic conic sections, delving into a range of complex curves such as spirals, orthogonal trajectories, and even some higher curves, with accessible explanations of their properties. While the focus is on giving the reader a deep conceptual understanding of curve construction, the author also includes practical notes in proof of the properties used, so the reader can see the development of these properties and methods. With a multitude of worked examples throughout, this book will be useful to both students and experienced draughtsmen alike, regardless of their prior knowledge of the subject. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
