Catalogus der geschied- en oudheidkundige voorwerpen van het Gemeente-Museum van 's-Gravenhage
A Dutch museum catalogue of historical and antiquarian objects, issued in 's-Gravenhage in 1893 by the Gemeente-Museum for its public collection. Its pages show technical line drawings of mechanical devices: a gear-and-ratchet switch mechanism labelled Model III, a cycloid-shaped balance pan, and a pulley-driven weighing apparatus. A designer might take from them the clean, schematic engraving style and the rigid, diagrammatic way machine parts are arranged.
