Kinematics of Mechanisms from the Time of Watt

by Eugene S. Ferguson

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Reviews

[Ségolène · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well written and documented, this book can be read by people who only have a basic knowledge of the topic. It is a very niche topic however, and most people who have spent time reading about it will find this take too simplistic for their taste.
