A 1705 German technical treatise by Michael Mieth on casting furnaces and cannon, guns, howitzers and mortars, written for founders and metalworkers of the period. The plates are engraved folding diagrams of furnace sections, moulds, flasks and a cannon-boring machine, drawn with precise labelled cross-sections and plans. A designer could draw on their clean measured linework, numbered callouts and orderly grid layouts for industrial or schematic graphics.
