reducing a given diagram. Plans and elevations of
straight lines and of plane figures lying in, standing
vertically on, or inclined to the horizontal plane (but not
in the latter case inclined also to the vertical plane).
Plans and elevations and conventional isometric views
of the following solids and of simple objects based
thereon: the cube, the rectangular block, the triangular
