The science of railways
The Science of Railways is a 1904 American technical manual by Marshall Monroe Kirkman, published in New York and Chicago by the World Railway Publishing Company for railway engineers and students. Its pictures are measured working drawings of track, bridge trestles and a pit or section, with dimensioned plans, elevations and cross-sections in plain black line; a designer could take from them the clarity of technical diagrams, with labelled parts, dashed section lines and simple hatching.
