Wheeler Wilson Factory - Scientific American Magazine May 3rd, 1879
I brought the size of these down as close to 800x600 as I could, sorry...
These woodcut images are from the May 3rd edition of Scientific American Magazine.
There is a HUGE write up on the factory in it. I have a scanned copy that I am attempting to OCR the whole article from, but that will take some time to get right and accurate, so in the meantime I am uploading these amazing "shots" as teasers.
Each one says in the lower corner what it is as well.
