Handbook for architects and builders
A professional reference issued by the Illinois Society of Architects in Chicago in 1898 for practising architects, builders and contractors. The plates are engraved trade-catalogue views of heating plant — sectioned boilers and furnaces with water flow arrowed through tubes, firebrick, grates and gauges — offering cutaway diagrams, cast-iron ornament on furnace doors, and hatched shading conventions for mechanical drawing.
