are thin lines which serve as guide to ensure uniform height and width of letter.

-The universal language in engineering and technical work.
● Any engineering construction whether it be engine design, product design, construction
design or any component part of any object requires a well-prepared drawing or plan
before it is constructed.
Drawing
What method of drawing is to construct an object from lines out of geometric shapes or simple
figure?
Line Drawing
Shows object as they would appear in a photograph ?
Pictorial Drawing
These drawings more nearly represent an object as it would appear to the eye.
Perspective Drawing
Type of perspective drawing, single point on the horizon where a subject vanishes
One point perspective
Type of perspective drawing two point on the horizon where a subject vanishes
Two point perspective of angular perspective
Type of perspective drawing, Horizontal lines are drawn to recede 30 degrees to the right and 30 degrees to the
left.
Isometric Drawing
Type of perspective drawing, To make an object as required, the craftsman must have a clear representation of the shape and definite, accurate information about its size, details, special process, materials and finish. Drawings with two or more vies are used to give complete information about the object.
Working Drawing
Products which are complex, and the complexity will
determine just how much information can be presented on one drawing.
Detail and Assembly Drawing
it is important in any drawing because it gives other pertinent information necessary to
depict the object under construction with the drawing or the graphical representation fails to show.
Lettering
All letters having “accented: strokes or consisting of heavy and lights or thick and thin lines.
