Cyclopedia of mechanical engineering; a general reference work. Editor-in-chief Howard Monroe Raymond. Assisted by a corps of mechanical engineers, technical experts, and designers of the highest professional standing
A multi-volume mechanical engineering reference issued in 1908 by the American Technical Society in Chicago, edited by Howard Monroe Raymond for correspondence students and shop practitioners. The plates are line-drawn machine drawings — sectioned couplings, pulleys, gear-tooth layouts, valve bodies — with dimension lines, hatching, bolt-circle centres and lettered captions that designers can lift as diagram vocabulary or technical ornament.
