Engineer's Sketch-Book of Mechanical Movements, Devices, Appliances, Contrivances and Details e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In the work of designing machinery the draughtsman has to rely mainly on his memory for inspiration; and, for lack of an idea, has frequently to wade through numerous volumes to find a detail or move ment to effect a particular purpose. Hence, as a rule, every man's work runs in a groove his productions generally having the stamp of his particular experience and training clearly marked upon them.
