Appleton's dictionary of machines, mechanics, engine-work, and engineering : illustrated with four thousand engravings on wood ; in two volumes
A two-volume illustrated technical dictionary of machines, mechanics and engine-work published by D. Appleton and Company in New York in 1873, aimed at engineers, machinists and workshop trades. The wood engravings are line diagrams of steam engines, valve gear, pumps and mill machinery in sectional and elevation views, hatched and lettered for reference, useful as precise mechanical line art, cutaway detail, and repeatable parts vocabulary.
