Mechanics of engineering. Comprising statics and dynamics of solids: and the mechanics of the materials of constructions, or strength and elasticity of beams, columns, arches, shafts, etc
Irving Porter Church's 1888 engineering textbook from John Wiley & Sons in New York, written for American civil engineering students studying statics, dynamics and strength of materials. The 219 figures are line diagrams of arches, loaded beams and force polygons, labelled with letters and dimension arrows in fine hatching and dashed construction lines, useful as technical linework and schematic ornament.
