William Stillman, Rhode Island Mechanician and Communicator--His Lock Patents and Acrostics.
Brockmann, R. John
Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, v26 n1 p21-35 1996
Argues that exploring the written work of William Stillman of Rhode Island could help balance the appraisal of 19th-century American technical communication. Reviews the writing and graphics in his "Miscellaneous Compositions" (1851) and patents from 1836 and 1839. Concludes that Stillman had an unusual ability to mimic the biological methods in which the human eye sees three dimensions. (PA)
