SECTION B: Theory (10 Marks)

Answer all in this section

a. Critically define Technical Drawing as a language

b. Explain 3 types of Loci and state their applications in the real world.
c. Differentiate between Loci and Link Mechanism.

SECTION C: Geometric construction (30 Marks)

Answer any 2 in this section

Note: Use full scale for all your construction works and dimensions should be in millimeters.
A well established border line and title block make up 20% mark in this section.
All construction lines must be shown clearly. Accuracy and good draughtsmanship are essential.
