Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies
The Journal of the Association of Engineering Societies is an 1881 engineering periodical issued in New York by the association's board of managers for working engineers and their societies. Its plates are technical drawings: a rotated survey map of a rail-crossed city district, a diagram of track layouts, a dimensioned iron fitting with cross-section, and a graphed profile of shaded triangular forms. A designer could take their precise linework, hatching and plotted grids as raw material for diagrammatic or industrial graphics.
