Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies
A journal of the Association of Engineering Societies, published in 1881 in New York by its board of managers for American engineers. Its pictures are technical working drawings: a furnace and combustion chamber section, riveted plate and girder connection details, a stepped cross-section, and a masonry stair with marble landing and iron railing. A designer could draw on their precise line-based plans, dimensioned callouts and hatched masonry for schematic or architectural graphics.
