ELEMENTARY WOODWORKING 



drawing takes no account of perspective. In Fig. 56 

 a is the perspective representation of a track, while b 

 shows a track by mechanical drawing. 



In a working drawing more than one 

 view is necessary to show the true shape 

 of an object. 



In Fig. 57 is shown the mechanical draw- 

 ing of a cylinder, — the front view, as its 

 name implies, being the image it would 

 make in a mirror held before it vertically, 

 and the top view the image it would make in 

 a mirror held directly over it horizontally.
