A 1905 mechanical drawing reference compiled by the American School of Correspondence in Chicago, Illinois, for students learning drafting by correspondence. Its plates show technical constructions in line: sectioned solids with projected shadows, a cylinder with a 45-degree fillet layout, and a drafting board set square at 15 and 75 degrees. A designer could draw on its precise construction diagrams for clean, measured linework and geometric layouts.
