Sinopsis

Excerpt from Elementary Geometrical Statics: An Introduction to Graphic Statics

Rather against the advice of friends, I have not attempted to write a treatise independent of existing text-books. My wish is to supplement, not to compete with, such. Hence the Principle of Transmissibility of Force and the Parallelogram of Forces have been assumed, and a direct plunge taken into the geometrical aspect of the subject. For the groundwork and, later on, for an exposition of the Laws of Friction, the student is referred, by permission, to Professor Loney's Elements of Statics.

In preparing this work, I have consulted most available English books which bear upon the subject, and, in particular, Professor Hoskins' Elements of Graphic Statics. The method of lettering the diagrams is the extension of Bow's notation adopted in that volume.
