Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies
A periodical of engineering papers issued in 1881 by the Association of Engineering Societies, New York, for working engineers and members of technical societies. Its pictures are plain line drawings and photographs of machinery, including a sectioned steam compound cylinder with its piston rod, a gauge and pipe fittings photographed in a plant room, and a coal-fed hopper with a sloping chute over masonry walls. A designer might take from them the clear, diagram-like way 19th-century mechanical parts were drawn in cross-section.
