Draw the development of an oblique circular cylinder with base diameter 30 mm and axis

inclined at 75o with the base. Height of the cylinder is 50 mm

• Divide the surface of the cylinder into equal parts as shown, with the generator lines parallel to
the end generators
• Draw a rectangle ABCD extending in height from the top of one side of the cylinder to the
opposite side on the bottom end as shown. The smaller side of the rectangle should be parallel
to the end generators

• Draw projection lines from the top edge of the cylinder such
G1 G A that they are perpendicular to the end generator

F B • Mark distances AB, BC etc. from one projector line to the
next to complete the profile
