The Crossley Machine Co. (Incorporated), manufacturers of clay working machinery : pottery, electric porcelain, tile making, clay washing and crucible machinery.
A 1918 manufacturer's trade catalogue from the Crossley Machine Company of Trenton, New Jersey, presenting its clay working machinery for potteries, electrical porcelain works, tile makers and crucible producers. The pictures are plain black-and-white photographs and engravings of heavy cast-iron machines, shown front-on and in three-quarter views with gears, pulleys and presses. A designer might take from them the sturdy mechanical look of early industrial equipment, with its bolted frames, spoked wheels and flat tonal shading.
