Scientific American, Vol. 32, No. 3 (1875)
A weekly American periodical of mechanical and scientific news, published in New York in 1875 for inventors, engineers, and general readers interested in new machinery. Its pages are filled with engraved illustrations of machines, apparatus, and buildings, several captioned as figures. Designers can draw on the crisp, mechanical line work of the cutaway machine drawings, the scientific diagrams with lettered reference points, and the simple architectural views.
