Handbook for carpet measurers, cutters and salesmen : including topics of general interest to the trade with illustrations and diagrams
A trade manual by John W. Lind, published in New York in 1905 for carpet measurers, cutters and salesmen learning to lay out floor coverings in irregular rooms. The plates are line diagrams of room plans drawn as flattened polygons, with solid and dashed construction lines, lettered corner points, yardage figures and handwritten-style labels like "Diag. 27", useful as geometric line art, technical-drawing texture, or diagram lettering.
