Not illustrated. 1864 edition. Excerpt: ... ONE PLANE DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY AS APPLIED TO FORTIFICATION DRAWING-. 1. The method now in general use, among military engineers, for delineating the plans of permanent fortifications, is similar to the one which had been previously employed for representing the natural surface of ground in topographical and hydrographical maps; and which consists in projecting, on a horizontal plane at any assumed level, the bounding lines of the surfaces and also the horizontal lines cut from them by equidistant horizontal planes, the distances of these lines from the assumed plane being expressed numerically in terms of some linear measure, as a yard, a foot, &c. 2. Plane of Reference or Comparison. The assumed horizontal plane upon which the lines are projected is termed the plcme of comparison or plane of reference DEGREES as it is the one to which the distances of all the lines from it are referred, and as it serves to compare these distances with each other and also to determine the relative positions of the lines. 3. References. The numbers which express the distances of points and lines from the plane of comparison are termed references. The unit in which these distances are expressed is usually the linear foot and its decimal divisions. As the position assumed for the plane of comparison is arbitrary, it may be taken either above or below-every point of the surfaces to be projected. In the French military service it is usually taken above, in our own below the surfaces. The latter seems the more natural and is also more convenient, as vertical distances are more habitually estimated from below upwards than in the contrary direction. Each of these methods has the advantage of requiring but one kind of symbol to be used, viz: the numerals expressing

Book Description
Excerpt from Descriptive Geometry: As Applied to the Drawing of Fortification and Stereotomy; For the Use of the Cadets of the U. S. Military Academy Tm: subjects of the following pages have been taught orally at the Military Academy for many years; but, for the saving of time, and the convenience of the pupils, it has been thought best to clothe them in a printed dress; and as, in this form, the volume might be found useful in other schools, as an appli cation of descriptive geometry to practical questions, it was also thought well to have it published.
