Machine Drawing : In First-Angle Projection Method [Including Computer Aided Drafting (CADr)] / N. D. Bhatt, V. M. Panchal and Pramod R. Ingle

It includes Index and diagrams.

This well-known text book gives complete knowledge on the subject of Machine Drawing,
Mechanical Drafting and Production Drawing. It follows
(i) the metric system of length measurement and
(ii) first-angle method of orthographic projection.
However, the third-angle projection method has not been completely ignored.
This Fiftieth Edition is thoroughly revised and extensively enlarged. Numerous new drawings
and text matter have been incorporated to optimise the utility of the book. The chapter on
Engine Parts are divided in two separate chapters such as
(1) Steam Engine Parts and
(2) Internal Combustion (I.C.) Engine Parts.
Chapter on Computer Aided Drafting (CADr) is entirely rewritten with 52 self-interactive and
self-learning practice modules.
It describes in an easy-to-follow style and with application of the principles of orthographic
projection, forms, proportions and uses of simple machine parts, engine parts and boiler parts.
The techniques of freehand sketching, dimensioning, conversion of pictorial views, sectional
views and interpretation of views are treated in clear and simple manner. Most of the orthographic
views are accompanied by the pictorial views of the objects to enable the students to visualize
the shapes easily.
The book covers the syllabi of Machine Drawing to meet the requirements of students of
Mechanical Engineering Degree Examinations of all the Indian Universities as well as Diploma
examinations conducted by various Boards of Technical Education, Certificate Courses as well
as for I.T.I. students and also to the candidates reading for the A.M.I.E., U.P.S.C., G.A.T.E. and
similar competitive and professional examinations.
