Re: Proper Drafting Technique
In middle school I took a real, old-fashioned drafting class, and it was fantastic! We had the proper drafting tables, boards, T-squares, pencils, erasers, scales, triangles and everything. We were taught proper block lettering, arrows, line weights, pencil holding, etc. Unfortunately, I don't think you'll find this too often in schools today.
On 696, I would typically do a pre-season "workshop" that would cover the same basic things Cory mentioned, along with some dimensioning and tolerancing.
For some books, Interpreting Engineering Drawings by Cecil H. Jensen is a good one, that has a lot of good workbook-style exercises inside.
Fundamentals of Graphics Communication by Gary R. Bertolini and Eric N. Wiebe is another one I have that Cal Poly has required, although I haven't read this one much.
Regarding the time of this post, I call it studying for college finals.
