Elements of mechanism: Elucidating the scientific principles of the practical construction of machines. For the use of students in mechanical engineering. With numerous specimens of modern machines

Ts the first part of this work will be found all the most approved elementary or simple parts of mechanism that the ingenuity of man has suggested, in the past and present age, for multiplying power for increasing and diminishing speed for changing the direction of motion for producing straight from curvilinear motions, and vice versd also irregular from regular motions, and vice versd. The several subjects are accompanied by the methods of calculating and comparing the powers, velocities, A c, of the different parts of each combination. The fundamental principles of these methods are derived from Bakers Principles and Practice of Statics cmd JD ynamics in Mr. Weale sS eries, with examples wrought out by common arithmetic; so that they may be understood without a knowledge of the higher branches of the mathematics. The more abstruse parts of the theory of variable motion are taken from.
