Scientific American, Vol. 35, No. 8 (1876)
Scientific American, volume 35, number 8, is an 1876 American weekly periodical of technical news and inventions, aimed at engineers, mechanics and general readers. Its pages carry printed engravings of machines, tools and devices, with explanatory text around them. The pictures here are precise black-and-white line drawings of a mortising machine, chisels with lettered diagrams, and a wood-working machine, useful to designers wanting crisp mechanical linework and labelled technical diagrams.
