Cyclopedia of architecture, carpentry, and building : a general reference work ...
A multi-volume technical reference issued in 1907 by the American School of Correspondence in Chicago, compiled as correspondence-course instruction for builders, carpenters, draftsmen, and architectural students. The plates are line engravings of measured elevations, floor plans with hatched walls, cornice sections, and perspective construction diagrams, all carrying dimension strings, guide lines, and figure numbers that suit grid backgrounds, diagram overlays, and blueprint-style ornament.
