The Morris Systems Checkerist (June, 1926)
The Morris Systems Checkerist is a 1926 Detroit periodical for checkers players, edited by Newell Williams Banks and published by the Morris-Systems Publishing Company. Its pictures are plain line diagrams of checkerboards with black and white pieces in set positions, drawn with hatched dark squares and thick borders. A designer could take from them the clean, schematic grid of a board game diagram, with strong contrast between the solid and outlined discs.
