V.O. Gordon was a Soviet Russian author of technical drawing textbooks widely used in USSR secondary schools from the 1930s through the 1950s. His Osnovy tekhnicheskogo chertezhiya (Fundamentals of Technical Drawing) was among the standard instructional texts in the Soviet general secondary school curriculum for the subject known as "cherchenie" (technical drafting), covering the core disciplines of geometric drawing, orthographic and projective drawing, sectional views, and applied technical illustration, as structured for the incomplete and complete secondary school levels. The present volume is the Georgian-language translation prepared by G. Burchuladze and published by the Scientific-Pedagogical Sector of the Georgian State Publishing House (Sakhelgami) in 1938. The translation was part of the systematic program of the Georgian SSR in the 1930s to produce and publish instructional materials across all school subjects in the Georgian language, as mandated by Soviet nationalities policy. The table of contents, visible in the original, covers 68 numbered sections across three thematic units: Part I (elements of geometric drawing: points, lines, planes, parallel and perpendicular constructions, geometric figures, cross-sections, projections); Part II (projective drawing for technical objects: plans, elevations, sections, conic sections, cylinders, frontal and isometric projection); Part III (elements of technical drawing: details, dimensions, finishes). The 1938 imprint places this textbook in the first complete school year of the new Soviet unified curriculum, introduced following the 1937 educational reforms. The large print run of 40,000 reflects the scale of the Soviet Georgian school system. Of interest as a document of Soviet Georgian technical education publishing and as a surviving example of pre-war Georgian pedagogical printing.
