Report of the ... Annual Meeting of the American Street Railway Association
A technical report of the American Street Railway Association's annual meeting, published in Chicago in 1897 by the association's own office for its members and street railway operators. The pictures are engineering working drawings of streetcar and railway components, with dimensioned plan, elevation, and section views in pen-and-ink line work and hatched cut areas. A designer might take from them the precise, diagrammatic vocabulary of early mechanical drafting, with its dimension lines, leader callouts, and sectional hatching.
