Dessins Topographie PDF Download

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Topographical Drawing This book is offered to supply the need which several years' experience in giving instruo tion to students of engineering led the author to perceive. It presents the technical details of topographical drawing, together with problems involving the design of earthwork structures, and calculations relating to them. A leading feature of the other books of the Technical Drawing Series has been fol lowed; namely, the presentation of exercises and problems each with a definite lay-out, thus adapting the book for use in large classes. It is assumed that the student will have acquired some proficiency in mechanical drawing before taking up the work here presented, therefore the descriptions of instruments and explanations of processes do not include those which are ordinarily given in a good course in mechanical drawing. Indeed, the aim throughout the preparation of the book has been to avoid duplicating anything that the student may well learn from some other source; also to gather into form immediately available to a draftsman those things which his other books cannot consistently include, or which are not presented in a sufficiently concrete form to be of the greatest use.
