De La Vergne Refrigerating Machine Co · 1890 · New York : [The Company] · 5 pictures

A trade catalogue issued by the De La Vergne Refrigerating Machine Company of New York in 1890, addressed to engineers and buyers of refrigeration equipment. The pictures are monochrome engineering line drawings of plant layouts, pipe systems, and cut-away valve sections, with plate captions and labels in small print. A designer could take from them the precise, schematic diagram style of nineteenth-century industrial documentation, with hatched section fills and dense technical lettering.
