You should post this in the mechanical engineering community. This is amazingly well done. We love this sort of stuff.

It’s interesting they called first angle ‘British Projection’. I can see calling third angle ‘American Projection’ cause of ANSI, but it is still kinda odd.

Thank you for sharing. I’ve studying everything included in these notes, I understand it all. And in the years that I did study this, not one of my excise books of notepads was nearly as detailed. I’d ‘look up the slides’ or ‘google it’…

Science Technology Engineering Art and Mathematics in motion.

Thank you for sharing. These are beautiful notes.

You’re welcome. I guess you’re ready to inspect WWII-era military aircraft!

I think it’s really interesting too, but he was my grandfather, so I’m biased. I wasn’t really sure how interesting drawings of screw threads and gauges and calipers and such would be to other people.

Me too. He tried to teach me some when I was a kid, but I just don’t have the aptitude for it.

Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
