The Civil engineer and architect's journal, scientific and railway gazette
A London trade periodical of 1839, edited and issued by William Laxton for practising civil engineers, architects and railway men, mixing technical reports with measured plates. The engravings are line diagrams: plans, sections and elevations of arches, tunnels, roof trusses, track junctions and machine parts, with dimension lines and hatched masonry — useful as ready-made technical linework and drawing conventions.
