In just under 0.18 seconds, Google reported http://www.cadsymbols.com/ this link amongst others. You might want to try something like this first. As to American design, that's pretty nebulous. You'll need to be more specific. Design of what - cars, stereos, lasers, houses ???

Years ago (about 12) there used to be a CAD system called Orcad that specialised in electrical symbology. I'm not sure if it was free but if it cost anything, it would only have been a few bucks!

Thinking back, by modern day standards it was crap but it did do the job. Where it would/may let you down would be in the presentation. Having said that, they have probably got version 2008 on the go and charge big bucks. Check the web!

If you have access to a copy of Visio it has all the symbols you need.

Good call, Swellmel! Sourceforge is one of my favorite sites.
