DESCRIPTION:
. About the Author Tubal Cain was the pen name of engineer and craftsman Tom Walshaw, the writer of many best-selling home workshop and model engineering guides
This book will also serve as an aide-memoire to the professional engineer whose drawing-office days are over. He explains not only the 'rules' but also the reasons why they are important and, acting on the principle that one sketch is worth a thousand words, illustrates his points wherever possible. In this book he has amalgamated that experience with an appreciation of the difficulties often felt by model engineers when reading or making workshop drawings. This revised edition features the author's classic text with completely new illustrations and technical drawings, specially created for this purpose.. Tubal Cain has achieved an international reputation both as a writer and modelmaker, but it is known less generally that in his previous career he was not only an engine designer of some note but also a teacher of engineering drawing. One of the merits of this book are the illustrations of conventions which are now out of date but are still to be found on many of the archive plans and drawings needed by the model en
"OK for the novice but most will find it too basic." according to Steve in Sarasota. Not great. A good rudimentary introduction (which is what the Workshop Practice Series concentrates on). I purchased to fulfill my collection of this series, but I didn't glean much from it. For the home tinkerer. If you want more detail, you will need a textbook. There are many on Amazon at really great prices and I think most people would get more for less.. edward smith said Five Stars. good read.
