Journal of fabrics and textile industries
This is a trade periodical, the Journal of Fabrics and Textile Industries, published in Halifax, England, in 1882 by H. and R.T. Lord for mill owners and textile manufacturers. Its pictures are plain wood-engraved machinery views: a steam-driven purifier with pressure gauge and tank, a cabinet machine with a rotating drum, a lathe on a cast bed, and a horizontal steam pump with a large flywheel and air chambers. A designer could draw on their dense mechanical line work and the hatched shading that gives metal bodies weight.
