Architectural engineering. With special reference to high building construction, including many examples of Chicago office buildings
A technical manual on steel-frame construction by engineer Joseph Kendall Freitag, published by John Wiley & Sons in New York in 1895 for architects and structural engineers studying Chicago's early office towers. The plates are line-drawn sections, plans and riveting details of columns, girders and wall facings, densely annotated with dimensions and arrows, useful as sources of precise engineering diagram vocabulary.
