Blueprint Reading for the Machine Trades systematically teaches you the skills needed to read and interpret blueprints. You'll master each new concept through immediate hands-on problem-solving. No prior blueprint reading knowledge or specialized materials are required.
The content follows a logical progression. It begins with basic print reading, then moves to visualization and finally, to multiview drawings. New material is followed by assignments so you can immediately apply concepts. Questions pertaining to previously introduced material appear throughout the text.
The 8th Edition reflects the latest industry standards, including ASME Y14.5-2009 and CAN3-B78.1-M83. The text has proven itself useful both in classroom and industrial settings, and has also been widely used in self-teaching.
