Synopsis

Excerpt from Mechanisms and Mechanical Movements: A Treatise on Different Types of Mechanisms and Various, Methods of Transmitting, on Trolling and Modifying Motion, to Secure Changes of Velocity, Controlling and Modifying Motion, to Secure Changes This treatise on mechanisms and mechanical movements is intended for designers of machinery and for all interested in originating new mechanical devices or in developing and perfecting those now in use. In view of the fact that there is an almost endless variety of mechanisms, it might seem impracticable to deal with such a broad subject in a single volume of this size. As the classes of mechanisms, however, which differ radically in principle, are few in comparison with those which simply vary in form, it was considered not only practicable, but very desirable, to present in one volume a variety of mechanical devices representing different types of mechanisms and selected especially to illustrate important fundamental principles. The designers of machines or mechanisms in general are constantly engaged in the solution of problems pertaining to motion and its transmission. The motion derived from some source of power must be modified to produce certain effects, and various changes in regard to velocity, direction, and time of action may be necessary. Frequently, the same result may be obtained by forms of mechanisms which differ entirely in principle and effectiveness, and it is essential to employ an approved method. The purpose of this treatise is not only to explain how various mechanical motions may be produced and controlled, but to show the relation between the theoretical and practical sides of the subject. The examples include many ingenious mechanical combinations and are practical designs which not only illustrate the principles involved, but indicate exactly how those principles are applied.

Product Description:

Excerpt from Mechanisms and Mechanical Movements: A Treatise on Different Types of Mechanisms and Various Methods of Transmitting, Controlling and Modifying Motion, to Secure Changes of Velocity, Direction, and Duration or Time of Action

The columns of machinery were Of valuable assistance in supplying information and illustrations regarding various types of mechanisms, especially of the classes common to the machine building and machine-tool fields. Special mention should be made Of the excellent examples Of mechanisms Obtained from the contributions Of G. W. Armstrong and G. M. Meyncke. The study Of mechanical movements is Of especial importance at the present time, owing to the increasing use of automatic machines in almost every branch Of manufacture, and this treat ise is published in the belief that it will be Of practical value to many designers, draftsmen, mechanical engineers, and in ventors engaged in originating and planning new developments.
