Scientific American, Vol. 72, No. 9 (1895)
Scientific American, volume 72, number 9, is a weekly American science and engineering periodical from 1895, published in New York for working engineers, inventors and manufacturers. Its pages are dense with small advertisements for machinery, bicycles, lathes, typewriters and patent services alongside technical line drawings. A designer could take its compact typographic layouts, boxed ad frames and fine-line mechanical diagrams, such as the boiler alarm gauge cutaway, as period reference for industrial graphics.
