Precision, nearness 'rypify mechanical drawing Mechanical drawing, while being one of the more popular courses, is far from easy. The course is olfered for six semestersg the hrst four include basic prepara- tion while the last two are a type of honors course for the more capable draftsman. The basic course teaches the use of drafting tools, shows applications of geometry, and emphasizes neatness. In the first year boys learn to read plans, to draw and dimension castings or blocks, and to make assembly and detailed drawings by use of sectioning and auxiliary views. In the second year, a student may continue basic drafting or elect an architectural course. Whether preparing a student for drafting as a trade or for college work in engineering or architecture, mechanical drawing is a complete course. Of all the important tools of the draftsman, capable, dex- terous hands are the most vital. The hands of a person can reveal many character traits and here the hands of two stu- dent draftsmen disclose knowledge as they point out the way to better understanding of a mechanical drawing problem.p lil, . I Pondering an exercise in mechanical drawing are Carl Phil- , 3, liPS and Jack Whiting who find that a consultation about the ' ': I, , problem to be solved before starting their drawings helps them ,ff if arrive at the correct solution in a short time.
