    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 wish I had an ounce of his talent.

      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.

        Those drawings are beautiful. I wish I could draw like that.

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

    He may have worked as an aircraft inspector but his passion was illustration.

      Oh definitely. He loved nothing more than drawing and painting, although he was also a great woodworker. He made me a couple of relatively complex wooden toys when I was a kid.

        He sounds like he was incredibly talented.

          He was. I wish I had an ounce of his talent.

            Why do you think you don’t? I find talent runs through families. It often manifests in different ways generation to generation, but it’s there. Maybe you just don’t see your unique talents and skill sets as on par with his, but I bet he would. 😉

              I meant I wish I had an ounce of his talent when it came to things like drawing and woodworking.

            Talent and skill are often mistaken for eachother. You still have plenty of years to be chasing passions and building skills yourself!

          I’m afraid if they still exist, they’re hidden somewhere deep in my mother’s attic. He made them more than 40 years ago and died 30 years ago. But one was an alligator skeleton on wheels that you would pull and it would snake around and the other was a large Noah’s Ark with a hinged top that he filled with plastic animals.

    I grew up in a sheet metal fabrication company in the US. It’s wild to see drawings of measurement tools I’m familiar with from 80 years ago. I had no idea these designs were this old. This is so cool, thanks for sharing, OP!

    This is so cool!

    And it seems to ge written with a fountain pen. The times where people could write properly, beautifully, and made things to last.

    I kind of regret being born in such a wasting consumption focused society…

      Definitely a fountain pen. This was before ballpoints.
