The extending use of graphic methods in the solution of many practical engineering problems has appeared to me to demand a corresponding extension in the practice of drawing the curves on which such solutions may frequently depend, and, though the properties of conic sections have been discussed thoroughly both geometrically and analytically, there is so far as I am aware no book treating of the actual delineation of the curves from given data to anything like the extent here attempted. Independently however of their applied use, the problems generally will, I think, be found useful merely as drawing exercises in science and other schools.
