Iron as a material for ship-building : being a communication to the Polytechnic Society of Liverpool
A pamphlet from 1842 by John Grantham, published by Simpkin, presenting a communication to the Polytechnic Society of Liverpool on using iron in ship construction. The pictures are engraved technical plates of ship sections and a ship's scraper with lettered figures, plus a close-up of a timber stanchion, which suggest how a designer might diagram structural parts with clear labels and line drawings.
