Blueprint Reading Basics has proven to be a practical text for those who want to learn how to read industrial prints. It is written in a non-technical and easy-to-read style. Discussions on related subjects such as mathematics, engineering, and machine shop practices are kept to a minimum. Special skills such as drafting techniques and freehand drawing are not required. The most difficult part of print reading is the ability to form a mental picture of the drawing. Visualization, therefore, is reviewed in great detail with many illustrations, guides and worksheets. The worksheets have proven to be extremely helpful when learning how to interpret and understand industrial prints. Worksheets have short specific questions that require short specific answers. Industry standards, industry practices, and copies of industrial prints are reviewed throughout the text. This provides the reader with a well-balanced presentation of print theory and industry applications.
