  • Chapter
Book cover Graphic Communication for Technical Design

Abstract

Freehand sketching is an important part of the training of the professional Engineer or Architect. Much preliminary work is greatly facilitated by free use of sketching.

This sketch must be complete with dimensions and all relevant information to enable him to prepare a finished drawing on return to the office.
