Application of dyestuffs to textiles, paper, leather and other materials
A 1920 technical manual on dyeing textiles, paper and leather, written by textile chemist J. Merritt Matthews and published by John Wiley & Sons in New York for dyehouse operators and students of applied chemistry. The plates mix engraved sectional diagrams of vats, kiers and piping runs, labelled with steam and water arrows and dimension lines, with manufacturers' halftones of jiggers and washing frames, useful for industrial machine silhouettes and plumbing schematics.
