Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies
A late nineteenth-century engineering society journal published in the United States in 1881 by the Association of Engineering Societies, written for working engineers and members of technical societies. Its pictures are mechanical line drawings and photographs: a velocity gauge and pitot tube diagram, a rotated cross section of a dam with survey levels, a close photograph of a metal fitting with angled arms, and a hatched pump and condenser schematic. A designer could draw on their crisp technical linework, hatched shading and labelled diagram layouts.
