1899 · 23 pictures

Scientific American, volume 80, issue 7 from 1899 is a weekly American science and engineering magazine written for a general technical readership. Its pages pair engraved and halftone photographs with captioned diagrams of machines, vehicles and ship repairs. The illustrations here show a horse stall fitted into a railway car with plan and section diagrams, an early three-wheeled motor carriage with tiller steering, a small electric runabout, and riveted steel plates and pneumatic drills in a damaged ship hull, offering a designer period engineering imagery with strong diagrammatic and mechanical character.
