Marine engineering
Marine Engineering is a 1897 periodical from the Marine Publishing Company of New York, written for shipbuilders and marine engineers and held by the Smithsonian Libraries. Its pictures are technical: engine cross-sections, a warship elevation with plan view, a steamer moored at a wharf, and a bedplate drawing with labelled main bearings. A designer could take from them the clean line-drawing vocabulary of late nineteenth-century engineering plates, with dense hatching, callouts and precise geometry.
