Excerpt from Architectural DraftingIN arranging this text, an elementary knowledge, of mechanical and free-hand drawing on the part of the students, has been assumed. For this reason, no descrip tion is given of those instruments which ordinarily would be included in a rudimentary treatise in either subject. Special emphasis, however, is laid upon a description of such tools and materials as are used to a greater extent by architectural draftsmen than by those in allied trades and professions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
