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 society members. Its pictures are precise black-and-white technical drawings: plans, cross-sections, and elevations of structures such as embankments, drains, sewers, and elevated transit lines, with dimensions and lettering labelled directly on the lines. A designer might borrow their clean line work, hatching patterns, and diagrammatic layouts for schematic or infographic graphics.
