A site called Patent Room -- The Art of Industrial Design has a collection of wonderful drawings drawn from patent applications submitted during the '20s, '30s, '40s, and '50s. As you might expect, these drawings not only represent the brainstorms of the inventors, but they also reflect the design styles of those decades.
This collection is fascinating for both its collecting of the creativity of so many inventors, the beauty of their visual imaginations, and a way to glimpse part of our visual history.
