The engineer and machinist's drawing-book: a complete course of instruction for the practical engineer: comprising linear drawing - projections - eccentric curves - the various forms of gearing - reciprocating machinery - sketching and drawing from the machine - projection of shadows - tinting and colouring - and perspective. Illustrated by numerous engravings on wood and steel. Including select details, and complete machines. Forming a progressive series of lessons in drawing, and examples of approved construction
A mid-nineteenth-century engineering drawing manual compiled by the Armengaud family and Leblanc, published in 1855 for practical engineers and machinists learning linear drawing, projections and machine drawing. The pictures are plates of geometric construction: stepped hatched planes, intersecting solids with shadow tints, and labelled projection lines, useful for designers wanting technical line diagrams with a precise, engraved character.
