Report on the manufacture of glass
A U.S. Census Bureau report on the glass industry compiled by Joseph D. Weeks for the Tenth Census of 1880 and printed in New York in 1883 for statisticians, manufacturers, and trade readers. Wood-engraved sectional diagrams of furnaces and annealing ovens sit beside hatched renderings of clay pots, crucibles, and wheeled pressing machinery, offering cutaway geometry and dense line shading.
