Exercise 4 - Car Engine Piston


Create a Word drawing from the following diagram of a car engine piston. This diagram was NOT created in Word (not even created by me). This exercise should let you practice designing your own graphics from looking at something else. It will be graded on accuracy and good representation, and not necessarily exactness. Show the circular motion of the piston by either drawing arrows or multiple states, as done here. It is not required that you make your drawing as detailed as the original. Include at least five of the labels and define them in a legend (as below). This means you will probably have to draw at least five distinct features from the original. There is no "void" because these graphics were not made in Word and are nearly impossible to reproduce exactly in Word. Read the hints for another website with better pictures of this.

 

Hints: You can find the original drawing here, if the pictures above are not clear enough (at that site, using Flash, you can right click the drawing and zoom in). You can use any knowledge you have learned so far, or any you already know. Also, in Autoshapes, there is a curved line drawing tool next to the polygon tool.
