Report of the ... Annual Meeting of the American Street Railway Association
This is a 1897 annual meeting report from the American Street Railway Association, published in Chicago by the association's own office for operators and engineers of urban electric street railways. Its pictures are plain line drawings: a sketch of a passenger on a tram, a side view of an electric streetcar with overhead trolley wire, and plan and elevation drawings of track construction on a city street. A designer might take clean technical diagram conventions, such as dimension lines, hatched paving layers, and rail profiles, for a vintage engineering look.
