Naval Construction Prepared For The Use Of The Midshipmen Of The United States Naval Academy PDF Download

Excerpt from Mechanical Drawing: Written for the Use of the Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy The attempt is made in this treatise to find the methods of practical work in use in most drafting-rooms and to give these methods in detail for the use of those studying Mechan ical Drawing. The author has endeavored to eliminate any personal peculiarity of method, and has based the treatise on the methods in use in the United States Navy, as far as these methods could be determined. As general methods differ slightly, the drawings referred to for the general instruction have been those of the Bureau of Steam Engineering of the Navy Department, and the methods of that bureau have been followed. The special methods of the Bureau of Ord nance and of the-bureau of Construction are studied and used after the main course is completed. The differences are, however, slight and refer principally to center lines and dimension lines. The Bureau of Ordnance uses the decimal scale also.
