A history of the growth of the steam-engine
Robert Henry Thurston's technical history of the steam engine, published by D. Appleton in New York in 1878 for engineering students and general readers. Wood-engraved diagrams show beam engines, flywheels, boilers, governors, and paddle-wheel steamboats in section and elevation, with lettered callouts and dense hatching that suit cutaways, machine-part motifs, and industrial line art.
