This new second edition of this widely used text and self-training manual has been expanded to include many new worksheets designed to facilitate the reader’s ability to form an mental picture from a drawing. Each chapter contains an introduction, a detailed review, illustrations, review questions, and worksheets. Industry standards (including ASME Y14.5 , Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), practices, and copies of industrial blueprints are included throughout to provide a balanced presentation of theory and application. This book is written in a nontechnical and easy-to-understand manner that is appropriate for machinists, mechanics, technicians, and inspectors, as well as students taking blueprint reading, machine shop, or tool and die courses. All exercises were conceived as teaching aids and have been classroom tested.
