A practical treatise on foundations, explaining fully the principles involved : with descriptions of all of the most recent structures, accompanied by numerous drawings ...
A technical engineering treatise on foundations by William Macfarland Patton, published in New York by John Wiley in 1893, written for civil engineers and builders working on structures. Its plates show engineering drawings of caissons, cribs, sheet piling, pile foundations and timber staging in elevation, section and plan views, drawn in fine black line with dimensions and lettered callouts. A designer might borrow its clean grid-like linework, orthographic diagram layouts and labelled plan-and-section arrangements as a reference for structural or architectural schematic graphics.
