Scientific American, Vol. 32, No. 7 (1875)
This is an 1875 issue of the Scientific American, a weekly American magazine of mechanical and technical news for engineers, inventors and tradesmen. Its engraved pages show woodworking machines such as the Excelsior wood worker in molding, planing and boring setups, a cross-section of the Underground Railway's 66th Street station in New York City, and cast iron grating or casting patterns. The drawings are precise, mechanical and labelled, with clear layouts a designer could use for industrial still-life or machinery forms.
