The great and increasing demand for irregular forms to be made from sheet metal has made Triangulation an important factor in Sheet Metal Pattern Development. This has induced the writer to lay before the sheet metal worker, a work designed for the purpose of enabling him to acquire a thorough understanding of this branch of Pattern Cutting.
Triangulation has in many instances been a subject of more or less mystery. However, from a study of Geometrical works, we conclude that its secrets have long been known.
This work is submitted with every confidence that if attention is devoted to the subject matter enclosed, one will be enabled to more clearly understand the principles involved in Triangulation as Applied to Sheet Metal Pattern Development.
Originally published in 1920, this book is a comprehensive treatise for cutters, draftsmen, foremen and students, progressing from the simplest phases of the subject to the most complex problems employed in the development of sheet metal patterns, with practical solutions of numerous problems of frequent occurrence in sheet metal shops. It is illustrated by means of 124 engravings in line and half-tone, including many reproductions of photographs of sheet metal models, made expressly for this work.
