| Blueprint Reading Basics |
| by Warren Hammer, 344pp., 2001 - softcover, ISBN: 083113125X |
 |
The new third edition of this widely used text and self-training manual has been expanded to include many new worksheets designed to facilitate the reader's ability to form a mental picture from a drawing. Each chapter thoroughly covers one subject and contains an introduction, a detailed review of the subject, illustrations, review questions, and worksheets. |
Industry standards (including the latest version of ASME Y14.5, Geometric Dimension and Tolerancing), practices, and copies of industrial blueprints are included throughout the text to provide a balanced presentation of blueprint reading theory and industry applications. The book is written in a non-technical and easy to understand manner that is appropriate for machinists, mechanics, technicians, and inspectors, as well as students taking blueprint reading, machine shop, or tool and die courses.
|
| Discussions of related subjects such as mathematics, engineering theories, drafting techniques and machine shop practices are kept to a minimum. All exercises were conceived as teaching aids and have been classroom tested. Questions designed to reinforce techniques of calculating dimensions contribute to a book that stresses practical concerns. |
