Aids to Drawing Reading for Apprentices
Abstract
As the design of mechanisms, structures and so on increases in complexity, and manufacturing processes become more complicated, the need for set courses on drawing reading as a classroom subject for student and craft apprentices becomes more evident. Among the many maxims of good design are ‘Foolproof Assembly’ and ‘Minimum Number of Parts’. Although the application of these maxims is usually reasonably simple, it does make for more complex parts and, consequently, more complex detail drawings. Some of these drawings are really difficult to interpret correctly — particularly for apprentices in the early years of their training before they have received any full‐time instruction in drawing and design.
