A 1918 McGraw-Hill engineering handbook by Richard T. Dana, cataloguing construction plant and its costs for American contractors and estimating engineers. Halftone photographs and line cuts show pile drivers, track-mounted hand cars, ditching machines, crushers and belt-driven shop equipment, mostly isolated against blank ground — useful as silhouetted machine profiles, wheel and truss details, and coarse halftone texture.
