Engineering drawing is a two dimensional representation of three dimensional objects. In general, it provides necessary information about the shape, size, surface quality, material, manufacturing process, etc., of the object. It is the graphic language from which a trained person can visualize objects.
The Instruments and other aids used in drafting work are listed below: Drawing board Set squares French curves Templates Mini drafter Instrument box Protractor Set of scales Drawing sheets Pencils
Drawing Board:
Until recently drawing boards used are made of well seasoned softwood of about 25 mm thick with a working edge for T-square. Nowadays mini-drafters are used instead of T-squares which can be fixed on any board. The standard size of board depends on the size of drawing sheet size required.
Mini-Drafter:
Mini-drafter consists of an angle formed by two arms with scales marked and rigidly hinged to each other .It combines the functions of T-square, set-squares, scales and protractor. It is used for drawing horizontal, vertical and inclined lines, parallel and perpendicular lines and for measuring lines and angles.
Instrument Box
Instrument box contains 1. Compasses, 2. Dividers and 3. Inking pens. What is important is the position of the pencil lead with respect to the tip of the compass. It should be at least 1 mm above as shown in the fig. because the tip goes into the board for grip by 1 mm.
Figure.1. Pencils:
Pencils with leads of different degrees of hardness or grades are available in the market. The hardness or softness of the lead is indicated by 3H, 2H, H, HB, B, 2B, 3B, etc. The grade HB denotes medium hardness of lead used for general purpose. The hardness increases as the value of the numeral before the letter H increases. The lead becomes softer, as the value of the numeral before B increases.
HB Soft grade for Border lines, lettering and free sketching H Medium grade for Visible outlines, visible edges and boundary lines 2H Hard grade for construction lines, Dimension lines, Leader lines, Extension lines, Centre lines, Hatching lines and Hidden lines.
Drawing Sheet:
The standard drawing sheet sizes are arrived at on the basic Principal of x: y = 1: 2^ (1/2) and xy = 1 where x and y are the sides of the sheet. For example AO, having a surface area of 1 Sq.m; x = 841 mm and y = 1189 mm. The successive sizes are obtained by either by halving along the length or doubling the width, the area being in the ratio 1: 2. Designation of sizes is given in the fig. For class work use of A2 size drawing sheet is preferred.

Guide Lines (Continuous Narrow Lines): These are drawn for lettering and should not be erased after lettering. Break Lines (Continuous Narrow Freehand Lines): Wavy continuous narrow line drawn freehand is used to represent break of an object. Break Lines (Continuous Narrow Lines With Zigzags): Straight continuous narrow line with zigzags is used to represent break of an object. Dashed Narrow Lines (Dashed Narrow Lines): Hidden edges / Hidden outlines of objects are shown by dashed lines of short dashes of equal lengths of about 3 mm, spaced at equal distances of about 1 mm. the points of intersection of these lines with the outlines / another hidden line should be clearly shown. Center Lines (Long-Dashed Dotted Narrow Lines): These are draWn at the center of the drawings symmetrical about an axis or both the axes. These are extended by a short distance beyond the outline of the drawing. Cutting Plane Lines: Cutting Plane Line is drawn to show the location of a cutting plane. It is long-dashed dotted narrow line, made wide at the ends, bends and change of direction. The direction of viewing is shown by means of arrows resting on the cutting plane line. Border Lines: Border Lines are continuous wide lines of minimum thickness 0.7 mm.

Dimensioning:
Drawing of a component, in addition to providing complete shape description, must also furnish Information regarding the size description. These are provided through the distances between the Surfaces, location of holes, nature of surface finish, type of material, etc. The expression of these Features on a drawing, using lines, symbols, figures and notes is called dimensioning.
Figure.1.
Methods of Indicating Dimensions:
The dimensions are indicated on the drawings according to one of the following two methods.
Method - 1 (Aligned method):
Dimensions should be placed parallel to and above their dimension lines and preferably at the middle, and clear of the line. Dimensions may be written so that they can be read from the bottom or from the right side of the drawing. Dimensions on oblique dimension lines should be oriented as shown in Fig.2.26a and except where unavoidable, they shall not be placed in the 30° zone. Angular dimensions are oriented.
Figure.1.6(a)
Figure.1.6 (b)
Method - 2 (Uni-directional):
Dimensions should be indicated so that they can be read from the bottom of the drawing only. Non- horizontal dimension lines are interrupted, preferably in the middle for insertion of the dimension. Note: Horizontal dimensional lines are not broken to place the dimension in both cases.

CONIC SECTIONS
Cone is formed when a right angled triangle with an apex and angle 𝜃 is rotated about its altitude as the axis. The length or height of the cone is equal to the altitude of the triangle and the radius of the base of the cone is equal to the base of the triangle. The apex angle of the cone is 2𝜃. When a cone is cut by a plane, the curve formed along the section is known as a conic.
a) CIRCLE:
When a cone is cut by a section plane A-A making an angle 𝛼 = 90° with the axis, the section obtained is a circle.
b) ELLIPSE:
When a cone is cut by a section plane B-B at an angle, 𝛼 more than half of the apex angle i.e., 𝜃 and less than 90°, the curve of the section is an ellipse. Its size depends on the angle 𝛼 and the distance of the section plane from the apex of the cone.
c) PARABOLA:
If the angle 𝛼 is equal to 𝜃 i.e., when the section plane C-C is parallel to the slant side of the cone the curve at the section is a parabola. This is not a closed figure like circle or ellipse. The size of the parabola depends upon the distance of the section plane from the slant side of the cone.
d) HYPERBOLA:
If the angle 𝛼 is less than 𝜃 (section plane D-D), the curve at the section is hyperbola. The curve of intersection is hyperbola, even if 𝛼 = 𝜃 , provided the section plane is not passing through the apex of the cone. However if the section plane passes through the apex, the section produced is an isosceles triangle.

Eccentricity(e) :
a. If e=1, it is parabola b. If e>1, it is hyperbola c. If e<1, it is an ellipse
Where eccentricity e is the ratio of distance of the point from the focus to the distance of the point from the directrix.
PARABOLA:
In physical world, parabola are found in the main cables on simple suspension bridge, as parabolic reflectors in satellite dish antennas, vertical curves in roads, trajectory of a body, automobile head light, parabolic receivers.
Figure.1.
ELLIPSE:
Ellipses are mostly found as harmonic oscillators, phase visualization, elliptical gears, ellipse wings.
