a question from my metal exam

I got really excited when I read the subject line.. was expecting a thread about music...

Clearly the answer to every question is progressive death metal. :twisted: :wasntme:

What you have described is a detail drawing, not an engineering drawing.

I started my apprenticeship in 1957 and our college content was 200 hours of drawing over the four years of college attendance in a five year apprenticeship. I have never heard the term "detail drawing" used in a machine shop, always "engineering drawing". The college courses were called "Technical Drawing" and "Engineering Drawing".

Maybe "detail drawing' is a more modern term?
