The Kinematics of Machinery: Outlines of a Theory of Machines (1876)

""The Kinematics of Machinery: Outlines of a Theory of Machines"" is a comprehensive book written by Franz Reuleaux in 1876. The book is a detailed study of the movement and motion of machines and their components, with a focus on the principles of kinematics. The author provides a theoretical framework for understanding the mechanisms and dynamics of machines, including the analysis of linkages, cams, gears, and other mechanical systems. The book also covers the principles of mechanism design and the practical applications of kinematics in various fields, including engineering, physics, and mathematics. Reuleaux's work is considered a seminal contribution to the field of mechanical engineering, and his insights have influenced the development of modern machinery and robotics. This book is an essential resource for students and professionals in the field of mechanical engineering, as well as anyone interested in the history and theory of machines.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
