From the very early days, man realized that if he had to construct any structure or
machine correctly and methodically, he must first record his ideas before starting construction
work. These recorded ideas become more vivid and forceful if they are shown on paper in
form of a drawing of the structure or machine. Such a drawing will be of very great help
to the man who looks after the construction of this structure or machine.
Indeed, "technical drawing is the language of engineering Without the good kmJwledge

of drawing, an engineer is nowhere and he could not have constructed the various magnificent
structures .or intricate machines. Evidently, any one connected in any way, with engineering
construction must understand this language of engineers. Technical drawing is, therefore,
indispensable today and shall continue to be so as long as engineering and technology
continue to be of use in the activities of man.
By means of drawing, the shape, size,. finish, colour and construction of any object
(no matter how complex) can be de$~f.iP:la~f'iicCurately and clearly. The engineer should
develop his skill, in two phases of. \~~lj~it,1 ~r~~i11g; first, he must be. able to draw dearly

stries in a large measure have
switched on to the third-angle projection system. So have a vast majority of Technical
Institutions. "Elementary Engineering Drawing", too, must keep step with the changes. There
was a phased change-over beginning with the .seventh edition. This edition .has completed
the change. Nevertheless, the first-angle projection system has not been altogether discarded.
The fundamentals of both the systems· are juxtaposed and elucidated.
The chapters on (i) · Development of surfaces, (ii) Isometric projection and (iii) Conversion
of pictorial views into orthographic views have been treated in some greater depth. This
and the increase of the illustrative problems and practice exercises have evidently enlarged
the size of the book and inevitably led to a little rise in price.
I should not miss this opportunity to record my gratitude to the numerous teachers
for their very useful suggestions and the students for their excellent response to the book,
without which this edition should not have come into being.

The first edition was originally published in 1958 and now has entered in its 42nd
Edition during 42 years, proves its popularity and utility among the teachers as well as the
students of Engineering Institutions of our country.
This edition has been entirely revised and enlarged by adding the following four chapters:
(1) Screw Threads (2) Screwed Fastenings (3) Riveted Joints and Welded Joints
(4) Computer Aided Drafting.
It was thought desirable to include this fourth chapter on 'Computer Aided Drafting'
which has now acquired an important place in this subject. We are thankful to Or. S. S. Khandare
of Y. C. College of Engineering, Nagpur for contributing this chapter. We are also highly
obliged to Shri R. C. Patel of Charotar Publishing House, Anand for correcting the Proofs.
This book provides a wealth of inforrriati~n a,nd describes an exciting new paradigm and
is also a valuable tool for all the Engine<"!ri~g s~udents, who wish to deepen and acquire
a sound knowledge of this important subject. (language of Engineers) without which a really
satisfactory progress c~nnot be achieved in an)': l:>ranch of Engineering.
We shall feel obliged .to receive comments, suggestions and opinions from the readers
to enhance the utility of the book. ·

since the book was first published. As a result, all the drawings have b~en ,redrawn with
utmost. intelligibility. Many. new· examples, drawings .are incorporated along with .. ~Q,tle new
text matter. This text-book is thoroughly revised, extensively. enlarged, comple~~fyt updated.
Chapter on. Computer Aided Drafting (CAOr) is entirely rewritten with inclusion of fO ~Jf{Jnteraetive
and self-leamingpractice modules, Jhis book accompaniea by a computenco as a novel
pedagogical cone.ept, containing 51 sele<I~ed audiovisual ;mimation module~, presented for
