Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies
This is an 1881 engineering society journal published in New York by the Association of Engineering Societies, written for working engineers and technical readers. Its pictures are black-and-white technical line drawings of machinery and construction works, including inclined conveyors, a hoist mechanism, and truss-framed material handling structures. A designer could take from them the clean, schematic linework of nineteenth-century mechanical draughtsmanship, with dimension lines, hatching, and steel truss geometry.
