The Locomotive
A technical periodical issued from 1867 by the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company in Hartford, Connecticut, for engineers, plant owners and policyholders. Halftone photographs document boiler explosions: ruptured shells peeled open, scattered brick and debris, wrecked mill interiors, plus diagrams of fittings and gauges — a source of high-contrast industrial wreckage and machine detail.
