Book Description

Excerpt from Mathematical Drawing and Measuring Instruments In this edition about one hundred pages of new matter with many illustrations have been added, from the desire to embrace all recent improvements in drawing instruments up-to-date. The whole matter has, also been revised, to drop out descriptions of many instruments that have become obsolete, the defects of which were pointed out in early editions, when suggestions were made for improvements which were at the time original, but have now become general, and are adopted by the profession and the trade.
