Scientific American, Vol. 79, No. 2 (1898)
Scientific American, volume 79, number 2, published in New York in 1898, was a weekly magazine for a general readership interested in science, engineering and invention. Its pages show mechanical and industrial designs, including a cutaway of a large cylindrical boiler, a machine tool with a drill head, a steam-driven warship on water, and a patent drawing of a pneumatic tyre wheel with numbered parts. Designers can draw on the crisp hatched engraving, the exact cutaway views and the clear technical labelling.
