FOREWORD
I congratulate the authors Dr. P. Kannaiah, Prof. K.L. Narayana and Mr. K. Venkata Reddy of
S.V.U. College of Engineering, Tirupati for bringing out this book on “Machine Drawing”.
This book deals with the fundamentals of Engineering Drawing to begin with and the authors introduce Machine Drawing systematically thereafter. This, in my opinion, is an excellent approach. This book is a valuable piece to the students of Mechanical Engineering at diploma, degree and AMIE levels.
Dr. P. Kannaiah has a rich experience of teaching this subject for about twenty five years, and this has been well utilised to rightly reflect the treatment of the subject and the presentation of it. Prof. K.L. Narayana, as a Professor in Mechanical Engineering and Mr. K.
Venkata Reddy as a Workshop Superintendent have wisely joined to give illustrations usefully from their wide experience and this unique feature is a particular fortune to this book and such opportunities perhaps might not have been available to other books.
It is quite necessary for any drawing book to follow the standards of BIS. This has been done very meticulously by the authors. Besides, this book covers the syllabi of various Indian universities without any omission.
