"How to Read a Workshop Drawing" is a vintage article on understanding technical and mechanical drawings, with chapters on notation and lettering, common practice, blue prints, instruments, and more. It contains all the information a novice needs to know to be able to interpret technical diagrams and is highly recommended for students and apprentices. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on technical drawing and drafting.
