520 # # |a This volume addresses the cultural, technical and ethical motivations of the history of drawing�of machines and its�developments step by step. First it treats drawings without any technical character; then the Renaissance with its�new forms of drawing; the 18th century, with orthographic projections, immediately used by industry; the 19th century, including the applications of drawing in industry; and the 20th century, with the standardization institutions and the use of the computer. The role of historical drawings and archives in modern design�is also examined. This book is of value to all those who are interested in technical drawing, either from an artistic, from a design, or from an engineering point of view.
