VENTILATION AND WARMING OF BUILDINGS, UPON THE PRINCIPLES AS DESIGNED AND PATENTED BY ISAAC D. SMEAD.... A full consideration of the heating and ventilation system designed by Isaac D. Smead, showing colored diagrams of the systems, and illustrations of the various buildings in which the design had been implemented. The numerous chromolithographic plates, printed in rich and varying color, show Smead's designs in riveting detail. This copy contains sixteen chromolithographic plates - two more than we have seen in other copies. A nice intersection of technical expertise and American color plate book production. Scarce.
