Planing machines, calenders and mangles are laid out part by part in these technical plates from The Engineer and Machinist's Assistant, engraved by R. Mason and published in 1847 by Blackie and Son with text by the engineer David Scott. Compound planing machinery associated with Nasmyth, Gaskell and Company at Patricroft ties the series to Victorian manufacturing near Manchester, while hand planing machines sit beside water mangles and household mangles, bringing workshop and domestic processes together. Mason was the engraver, not the designer of the machines.
