Synopsis

Designed as a visual reference, this collection uses clear, simplified illustrations to set out 507 individual components that underpin more complex machinery. Illustrations appear on the left-hand pages, with facing pages providing brief notes on each mechanism’s use and operation.

The selection ranges from straightforward to intricate, covering familiar elements such as cranks, pulleys, drills, wheels and screws, alongside mechanisms used in hydraulics, steam engines, pneumatics, presses and horologes, as well as other machines. With its emphasis on science, mathematics and engineering, it suits readers looking for an accessible overview of mechanical devices.
