Scientific American, Vol. 85, No. 9 (1901)
Scientific American volume 85, number 9 from 1901 is a weekly American magazine for engineers, inventors and general technical readers, printed in New York. Its pages show engineering and industrial subjects, with photographs and drawings of a steam-related device, an electric locomotive on the Palermo railway, a ship in dry dock, and a cable-driven tramway profile. A designer could take from them the plain line drawings with lettered callouts, the grey photographic tones of early industrial photography, and the dense mechanical detail of turn-of-the-century machinery.
