Cyclopedia of architecture, carpentry, and building : a general reference work
A multi-volume trade reference issued by the American Technical Society in Chicago in 1912, compiled from correspondence-school instruction for carpenters, builders, and draftsmen. Line engravings show framing joints, eave and sill sections, and grain patterns in cutaway timbers, with lettered keys and hatching that yield ready-made wood textures, isometric construction diagrams, and labelled section drawings.
