Intermediate Blueprint Reading For Machinists
Provides Machinists with Opportunities to Learn How to Visualize and Interpret More Complex Blueprints

Sixth Edition
Author: David L. Taylor

The second book in Delmar Learning’s three-part series, Intermediate Blueprint Reading for Machinists, 6th Edition provides users with opportunities to learn how to visualize and interpret more complex prints.

Ideal for self-paced learning, this workbook-style text continues the emphasis on orthographic projection involving interpretation of lines, views, dimensions, tolerances, notes, and symbols.

Advanced areas of inquiry are also addressed, including: welding symbols, fasteners, screw threads, and other related topics.

Features:

• short, concise units that build upon each other enable users to move quickly from easy to more difficult concepts
• double sided drawings in the back of the book provide immediate opportunities for readers interested in machine trades and mechanical engineering to apply new skills
• comprehensive coverage, including expanded discussion of current ANSI standards, eliminates the need for additional references
