Fig. 69 Pencil points, a for linework b for figures and letters c for compasses. You can obtain these in the classic wooden form, or as refillable holders. Again tastes differ -1 find the collet-type holders a bit of a nuisance as if you have several grades it is difficult to tell which is which, whereas the wooden ones are clearly marked at the end. Make your choice The critical matter is the sharpening. For all linework the 'point' should not be pointed, but more a chisel shape, Fig. 69 a ....
Conventional Representation
To draw every part of a workpiece in full detail would be very time-consuming and would also be likely to make the drawing less readable. This particularly applies to parts that are often repeated, such as screw threads. Over the years, therefore, draughtsmen have developed many conventions or symbols to replace the detail representation of the feature these have gradually been standardised on a more or less international basis. I have already dealt with those referring to the sectioning of...
The Theory of Orthographic Projection
The fundamental theory is rooted in the principles of solid geometry and need not concern us. The basic idea, so far as drawing is concerned, is that there are three planes mutually at right angles, like the sides of a box. The views are projected onto these planes which are then developed or opened out into a flat sheet - the paper we draw on. In first angle projection, Fig. 89, the object with faces A, B and C visible, is imagined to be suspended inside such a box. Three of the sides are...

Metric and Imperial Drawings
The translation of a metric drawing to imperial dimensions presents little difficulty, as the amended dimensions would be in decimal inches, and these would imply the same degree of precision as on the original thus 26mm could translate as 1, or as 1.02 or depending on the class of work. Translating from inches to mm differs, however, as many designers still use fractional dimension rather than decimals, and some even work in sixty-fourths. If such fractional dimensions are toleranced the...

Beginners in the 'art and mystery of turning' for example. But it is quite wrong to leave anything off the drawing, even if it means setting a fairly comprehensive note in the title box at the bottom. If the workshop drawing includes a number of parts, then reference numbers and a list in the title box should show the name of each, either immediately underneath it or. It should not really be necessary to say so but it is important to state the material of which each part is to be made, and the...

Fig. 87 In this intermediate stage, all dimmensions have been converted to metric but to three places of decimals. increase Dt, as a little, as we decreased D. This brings the reference dimension, originally 44.45mm, to 45mm. Again, a convenient round figure. Turn to the crankshaft. The outer faces of the two webs determine the shaft location, D3. Make this 64mm for trial. Then, if the crankpins are made 16mm wide the big end bearing can be machined to suit and the webs made 5mm thick the...
