The Amateur mechanic's workshop : a treatise containing plain and concise directions for the manipulation of wood and metals including casting, forging, brazing, soldering and carpentry
A 1907 London treatise by James Lukin, published by Kegan Paul, Trench, Trübner & Co., giving plain instructions to amateur mechanics on woodwork, metalwork, casting, forging, brazing, soldering and carpentry. The pictures are numbered line engravings of hand tools and fixtures, drawn in clean outline with lettered reference points, showing how each piece is shaped and held; a designer might borrow their precise, diagram-like labelling for technical or workshop graphics.
