Kinematics Of Machinery: Outlines Of A Theory Of Machines (1876)

The Kinematics Of Machinery: Outlines Of A Theory Of Machines is a book written by Franz Reuleaux and originally published in 1876. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of machines and their movements, also known as kinematics. Reuleaux's work is considered to be one of the most important contributions to the field of mechanical engineering.The book begins with an introduction to the basic principles of kinematics, including the different types of motion and the laws that govern them. Reuleaux then goes on to discuss the various types of machines, including simple and compound machines, and their components such as gears, pulleys, and levers. He also explores the different types of mechanisms, such as linkages and cams, and their applications in machines.Throughout the book, Reuleaux provides detailed diagrams and illustrations to help readers better understand the concepts he is discussing. He also includes numerous examples of machines and their movements, as well as practical applications of the theories he presents.Overall, The Kinematics Of Machinery: Outlines Of A Theory Of Machines is a seminal work in the field of mechanical engineering. It provides a thorough and comprehensive guide to the study of machines and their movements, making it an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
