Scientific American, Vol. 93, No. 2 (1905)
This is a weekly issue of Scientific American from 1905, a popular American magazine that printed short news items on engineering and invention for a general readership of technically curious people. Its pages carry photographs and line engravings of new machines, from a pipe coupling and a wave-powered motor to a telautograph and a railway pilot skid, with captions naming each device. The pictures are clear, unshaded mechanical drawings and plain black-and-white photographs, useful to a designer for their compact diagrammatic layouts of joints, frames, and linkages.
