Scientific American, Vol. 80, No. 17 (1899)
Scientific American volume 80, number 17, from 1899, a weekly American magazine of science, invention and industry written for engineers, mechanics and general readers. The pages shown carry machine-shop illustrations: a barrel drilling and oil-tank setup, a rough turning lathe, a band-saw-setting machine, and classified advertisements for firearms, bicycles and telescopes. Engraved line drawings with clear outlines and hatched shading show mechanical parts in close detail, useful to a designer for technical, industrial-era diagram styling and layout.
