SOLUTIONS FOR GUIDANCE

The assembly drawings are very critical and the principles of making the assembly drawings
from the part drawings are explained in detail in the text. The preparation of assembly drawings
from part drawings, require lot of skill. This can be achieved only through practice.
As a guide to the students, for majority of the projects considered in this chapter, one
assembly drawing; plain or sectional, is presented. Some are included in the text itself and for the
remaining ones, the views are given below. For example, Fig. 18.1A shows the assembly drawing
of the components given in Fig. 18.1 and so on. The students are advised to study these views and
develop other required ones.
