Cyclopedia of architecture, carpentry, and building : a general reference work
A multi-volume reference set on architecture, carpentry, and building issued by the American Technical Society in Chicago in 1912 for tradesmen and correspondence students. Plates are line drawings of structural steelwork—riveted plate girders, column splices, lattice bracing, gusseted truss joints—dense with rivet circles, dimension strings, and hand-lettered member sizes usable as diagram texture or technical ornament.
