| Summary |
"An Introduction to Machine Drawing and Design" by David Allan Low is a technical textbook written in the late 19th century. This publication serves as a guide for engineering students and practitioners, focusing on the principles and practices related to machine drawing and design, including a variety of exercises and instructional content intended to develop necessary skills in creating technical drawings for machinery. At the start of the work, the author critiques traditional methods of teaching machine drawing, pointing out that simply copying undimensioned drawings often fails to impart a meaningful understanding of machine components. Low establishes his intent to provide structured exercises that encourage a comprehensive grasp of machine design through practical activities, enabling students to create accurate working drawings based on their observations and understandings. He outlines various types of exercises, ranging from reproducing scaled views to creating complete working drawings based on detailed descriptions, emphasizing the importance of measurement and understanding dimensional accuracy.
