Excerpt from Geometrical Drawing: For the Use of Candidates for Army Examinations
This book is intended for those who have already acquired a knowledge of the principles of Geometrical Drawing. It is, in the main, an extension of the author"s earlier work on the subject, and the same lines are followed throughout. The titles and divisions of the earlier chapters are identical with those of the First Part, and the problems given are, in many cases, extensions of the more elementary constructions. As in the First Part, proofs of the problems are indicated, answers are given, and the figures, to which great attention has been paid, are drawn exactly in the form in which they should be reproduced.
As far as possible, the problems have been divided into systematic groups, so that each group depends on the same general principles of construction. Isolated constructions, which have no application to other problems, have, in general, been omitted. On the other hand, separate constructions are given for the regular figures from nine to twelve sides. A large number of Geometrical Patterns has been printed.
