Since the origin of the direct method may be of interest to many, a brief history follows." ; interesting photos of architectural examples of practical applications and of industrial machinery, includes the St. Louis Planetarium, Restaurant in Huntsville, Alabama, the Mark Twain Memorial Shrine, Mexican Stock Exchange, the St. Louis Priory, and Independent Congregation Church, St. Louis ; VG.
