Illustrations of the theory and practice of ventilation : with remarks on warming, exclusive lighting, and the communication of sound
A technical treatise by David Boswell Reid, the Edinburgh physician and ventilation engineer, published in London in 1844 for architects, engineers, and builders concerned with air supply, heating, lighting, and sound in buildings. Its wood-engraved figures are sectional diagrams of flues, shafts, gas burners, and rooms, with dashed arrows tracing air currents and hatched masonry ready for reuse as schematic line art.
