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.

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.
