Scientific American, Vol. 12, No. 2 (1865)
Scientific American, volume 12, number 2, is a weekly American engineering and science periodical from 1865, printed in New York for a general readership of inventors, mechanics and manufacturers. Its pictures are black-and-white wood-engraved figures of machines such as a hand-powered railway car, a cylindrical pressure vessel, a lathe-like tool and Barnett's traction engine, drawn with crisp outlines and labelled fig. numbers that a designer could borrow for industrial or steampunk-style layouts.
