Nasmyth's steam hammer, Fairbairn's corn mills and Fourneyron turbines are among the machines in prints from The Engineer & Machinist's Assistant, David Scott's engineering work published by Blackie and Son in London in 1847. Flax-processing equipment, Nasmyth's pile driver, Whitworth's slotting machinery and Caird's engines appear in plans, elevations and sections that show how each mechanism worked as well as how it looked. Water wheels set hydraulic power beside steam, and lathes, saws, shearing machines and planers show the tools that built other machines in the workshops of the 1840s.
