Three day introductory course in blueprint reading. Emphasis is placed on reading and interpreting machine drawings (including metric), and sketching (which is the mechanic's usual "blueprint") different views of an object (machine part) so that it may be understood and/or fabricated by someone else. Participants are also shown the information available in most architectural and structural prints. Instruction includes the interpretation of construction notes and details, and how to logically proceed through the prints to resolve problems and answer questions.
