Drafting

“ The drafting board may show that no such arrangement of parts can ever be made, that the whole scheme must be altered to make it practical. A real hero is required for the work of juggling the elements of a drafting board. He must have patient endurance and sufficient strength of character to use the eraser heroically, for the eraser is mightier than the pencil in the drafting-room. There are a thousand valiant knights armed with pencils to one stalwart pusher of the eraser. ”

“ We have more than twice as many men here, and their own blacks are but a broken reed. When we begin to draft, however, war will begin in earnest. They dread that drafting far more than volunteering. They know by experience, what we have not as yet learned, that drafting contains many strange secrets of success. ”

“ Before making a draft we must know exactly what we wish to produce. It is well in drafting escapements to make them as large as possible, say thirty to forty times larger than in the watch, in the present case the size is immaterial, but we must have specifications for the proportions of the angles. ”

“ It is a direct and simple treatment of mechanical drafting, giving due consideration to the needs of the student, the beginning draftsman and the requirements of the best teaching methods. It is complete, yet condensed and is well adapted for handbook use by the student and draftsman. It is well illustrated and is bound in flexible binding, pocket size. A thoroughly practical, modern textbook.
GRAMMAR GRADE PROBLEMS IN MECHANICAL DRAWING. By Charles A. Bennett. ”

“ The practice of assuming a section, common to some drafting rooms, results in a more or less distorted fitting, according to the experience the draftsman has had in designing such fittings. The workman in forming and assembling the fitting has difficulty in that he must compel the assembly to take an unnatural shape.
The plan, Fig. 301, is first drawn according to the dimensions taken at the job. The profiles are then divided into the same number of equal spaces. After the order of triangulation has been determined, base lines are carried to the corners M and N of the rectangle. ”

“ Operation orders of a complicated nature are unlikely to be required from the pen of infantry officers in the junior ranks, and the rules for drafting orders are stated in detail in the official text-books, for the use of officers of the ranks that will be required to issue them. ”

“ A hundred men are in this manner delivered to every officer commanding a thousand, and a thousand men to every officer commanding ten thousand. The drafting takes place without delay, and all are implicitly obedient to their respective superiors. Every company of a hundred men is denominated a tuc, and ten of these constitute a toman. ”

“ Since the pattern for all pieces can be laid out from the pattern of the first piece, it follows that all necessary information can be obtained from an elevation of the first two pieces of an elbow. A draftsman rarely draws more than two pieces of the elevation and divides the arc of the throat instead of the arc of the back. ”

“ The diagram of sections, Fig. 311, shows the condensed form in which the experienced draftsman usually develops this feature of the problem. All of the altitudes of points in the profile of one end of the transition are placed upon a vertical line. From the intersection of this vertical line with a horizontal base line all of the base lines from Fig. 310 are measured. Above this horizontal line, other horizontal lines are drawn at distances representing the altitudes of the points in profile of the other end of the transition. ”

“ Lettering.—Lettering is very important for the draftsman, and ability to make good letters is a good asset for anyone. Figure 15 shows the type of lettering that is very frequently used and that is probably most easily made. ”

“ The base lines are now drawn in, but before drawing them the draftsman must determine the order in which he intends to develop the pattern. It will simplify the study of triangulation if a standard method of development is adopted. Every line should be considered as running in but one direction ”

“ All dimensions on the elevation and the patterns should be full size. These are known as Witness Dimensions, and the workman always follows these while manufacturing from scale drawings. The use of witness dimensions relieves the workman from responsibility for errors, transferring this responsibility to the draftsman or designer. ”

“ Transition between a Square Pipe and the Second Piece of an Elbow.—In order to save height the sheet metal draftsman is often compelled to design a transition between a square or a rectangular pipe and the second piece of a round pipe elbow. In other words, the transition takes the place of the first piece of the elbow. ”

“ I mean, sir . . . There's no way of getting hold of an officer to march the draft. Them as are eligible gets to 'ear of what drafts is going and they've all bolted into their burries. Not a man of 'em will be back in camp before five to-morrow morning. Not when they 'ears there's a draft to go at four of mornings like this. . . . Now . . ." His voice became husky with emotion as he offered to take the draft hisself to oblige Captain Tietjens. And the captain knew he could get a draft off pretty near as good as himself: or very near. ”

“ The subject of forced draft is of great importance, and, as a corollary of high-speed development, is being studied with keen interest. There are wide differences of opinion not only as to the proper systems, but even as to the value of the principle. ”

“ I never in my life heard of a woman being drafted. Such an event would be impossible,” said Lieutenant Ethel.
“‘Impossible!’ Lor!” mocked Elfie. “Are you so young and green as not to know impossible things constantly happen? And here is the proof in black and white.”
58“If that document is the official summons of a drafted man, it proves beyond a doubt that it was never intended for you,” urged the young officer. ”

“ Before starting the layout, it must first be determined how many faces the cleat has. By holding the cleat with the largest surface directly in front of the eyes, three of these faces can be seen. A drawing should be made of what is actually seen. This drawing would appear as shown in Fig. 18. This view is called the front elevation and from it the exact sizes of the three faces or surfaces shown can be determined. ”

“ I do not believe many men are going to be obtained by a draft; I do not believe a very good Army will be got by a draft; I do not believe an Army will be put in the field, by a draft, that will whip General Lee. ”

“ They complain that when we call for volunteers we present the alternative of a draft, as it when the ship has been scuttled the Captain ought to leave the sleeping passengers to go to the bottom without calling upon them to take their turn at the pump. ”

“ A cake of soap, a razor, a small towel, two or three brushes, a spare pair of socks, a clean shirt—it seems little enough for a man to face an unknown world with, a man who is heir to the gifts of a complex civilisation.
[Pg 105]
Once thoroughly inspected, the draft ceases to be a draft, and is merged in the camp. The men settle down in the lines of their battalion, take their share in the life and work of their fellows until the day comes when they are joined to another draft and sent forth on a yet more adventurous journey. ”

“ Then gaining some insight into the manner in which the deed had been drawn, he would conclude that the draftsman was a specialist who had had long practice in this particular kind of work, but who now worked almost as it might be said automatically and without consciousness, and found it difficult to depart from a habitual method of procedure.
We turn, then, on Paley, and say to him: “We have admitted your design and your designer. Where is he? Show him to us. If you cannot show him to us as flesh and blood, show him as flesh and sap; show him as a living cell; show him as protoplasm. ”

“ There was not a breath of air stirring outside, yet I, who was sitting just across from the lamp, felt a cool draft. No one else noticed this draft. It was just as if someone directly opposite me had blown forcibly at the lamp, or as if the wing of a powerful bird had passed by it.
There can be no doubt there is something radically wrong in this house, and I am determined to find out what it is, regardless of consequences. ”

“ Again, after the draft in any district, would it not make trouble to take any drafted man out and put a volunteer in—for how shall it be determined which drafted man is to have the privilege of thus going out, to the exclusion of all the others? ”

“ This will require an 8 lb. rivet.
Drawing the Section.—A section. Fig. 157, showing the hoops, body, and bottom in their proper positions, should be drawn. The Profile.—The profile of the body should be drawn. The profile of the hoops would be larger than that of the body, but since the pattern for the body and the location of the slats are to be obtained, the profile of the body must be dealt with. This profile is divided into eight equal parts. Fig. 155. Using any two divisions of the profile as centers, the two slats are drawn in their proper positions. The profile. Fig. ”

“ If Congress had not passed the amendatory act of February 24, 1864, it might very well have been asserted that making an enrolment of persons liable to draft, was a service relating to the draft; for being a necessary preliminary to putting the draft in force, it bears a very close relation to it. ”

“ The National Election Committee is composed of nine Members whose mandate is five years. Four members shall be elected by the political party leading the Royal Government; four shall be elected by the political parties that won seats in the National Assembly, not in coalition with the Royal Government, and the other one shall be elected with the consent of all political parties having seats in the National Assembly. ”

“ The simplest way of explaining the operation of raising a draft or check is as follows:
Two men are necessary for success at any given point, and hence they are not so liable to detection as if a number of confederates were engaged. It is the business of one of these men to enter a bank, and purchase a draft on New York City, for a certain amount of money, usually about fifteen hundred dollars, and a short time after this another draft would be procured from the same bank for a small amount, seldom over ten dollars. ”
