Scientific American, Vol. 7, No. 17 (October 1862)
A weekly issue of Scientific American from October 1862, published in New York for inventors, patentees, and mechanics reporting new machines and patent-office news. Wood engravings show sectioned pumps and presses with lettered parts, a workman at a bench-mounted woodworking machine, and sparse line diagrams of suspended forms, useful as cutaway machine details, figure-at-work vignettes, and hatched schematic linework.
