Contained within this book is a comprehensive guide to patent drafting,
originally intended for the use of students, draftsmen, and inventors.
Although old, this guide contains a wealth of timeless information that
will be of utility to modern readers with an interest in technical
drawing. Profusely illustrated and accessible, "How to Make Patent
Drawings" is highly recommended for students and novice draftsmen.
Contents include: "Instruments and Materials", "Use of Instruments",
"Penciling and Drawing", "Sections and Section Lining", "Outline
Shading", "Surface Shading", "Lettering and Drawing", "Sketching", "Care
of Instruments", "Blue Printing, etc", and "Useful Hints". 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.
