This revised edition has been thoroughly revised, updated, strengthened and streamlined. The multicolour illustrations have been incorporated to enhance the content value. In this edition, certain topics and problems along with their solutions have been added to enrich the content of the book. Chapter, Computer Aided Drafting has been enriched with new topics and pictures. I hope the readers will find this book more useful.
