Introduction: As you read this text, you will encounter various terms associated with machinery. It will
be very helpful to the reader to have a basic understanding of these terms to further their ability to read and
interpret blueprints. The terms used in this introductory chapter have been divided into categories to help
you remember them better. Keep in mind, some terms may fit in more than one category. From time to
time it will be necessary to refer back to this unit.
