The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record is an 1887 Chicago trade periodical published by the Inland Publishing Company for architects and builders. Its pages here carry engineering drawings of movable bridges, including Scherzer rolling lift and bascule designs, alongside trade advertisements for valves and printers. The pictures show bridge elevations and perspectives, with the bridge spans and river traffic rendered in fine line work that a designer could adapt for structural or industrial motifs.
