Scientific American, Vol. 33, No. 16 (1875)
Scientific American, volume 33, number 16, is a weekly American science and engineering periodical published in New York in 1875, aimed at inventors, mechanics and general readers. Its pages are wood-engraved mechanical diagrams of machines, fittings and apparatus, with numbered figures and lettered parts, and a designer might borrow their clean line structure, technical labelling and the precise, schematic way parts are drawn.
