A French technical atlas of machine plates, catalogued under its volume title and held by the Eisenbibliothek Schlatt, a library of iron and engineering works. Its plates are measured engineering drawings of steam engines, pumps, presses and workshop machinery, drawn in fine black line on pale paper with lettered reference marks. A designer could take from them the precise mechanical linework, the dense interlocking geometry of gears, cranks and flywheels, and the clean numbered diagram layout.
