Excerpt from Elementary Descriptive Geometry The object of this volume is to put into concise form what the Author considers the minimum requirement of knowledge of the subject of Descriptive Geometry for students entering on an engineering course. It is desirable where possible that the text should be supplemented by blackboard demonstration and individual classroom instruction. The student should bear in mind that a thorough understanding of the methods of descriptive geometry is necessary to the proper interpretation of constructive drawing, and that in his study of the subject he should aim at grasping the methods rather than, at learning special text-book problems.
