Leading American inventors

Iles, George, 1852-1942 · 1912 · New York : Henry Holt and company · 71 pictures

George Iles's Leading American Inventors, published by Henry Holt in New York in 1912, collects biographical accounts of figures such as Fulton, Whitney, Morse and Howe for general American readers. Its plates mix line diagrams of machinery in section and elevation with shaded perspective views of lathes, looms, presses and furnace works, giving designers labelled mechanical schematics, hatched engineering textures and isolated apparatus that cut cleanly from the page.
