Publication industrielle des machines, outils et appareils : Les plus perfectionnés et les plus récents employés dans les différents branches de l'industrie française et étrangère
This is a French industrial engineering atlas of machines, tools and apparatus, compiled by Jacques-Eugène Armengaud the elder and published privately in 1845 for engineers and manufacturers. Its plates are large technical drawings of steam engines, pumps, lathes and presses, shown in elevation, plan and section with lettered details. A designer could take from them the precise line-work, grid-like plate layouts and mechanical diagram vocabulary of mid-nineteenth-century engineering.
