Scientific American, Vol. 84, No. 8 (1901)
A weekly American science and engineering magazine, this 1901 volume of Scientific American was printed in New York for a general readership of inventors, engineers and mechanics. Its pictures are black-and-white mechanical engineering line drawings and photographs of machines, valves, lamps and a petroleum buoy, with cutaway views and labelled parts a designer could borrow for technical diagrams and vintage industrial themes.
