1800 Mechanical Movements, Devices and Appliances | |
A fascinating compendium of early-twentieth-century mechanical devices, this wide-ranging work covers a variety of applications. More than 1,800 engravings — ranging from simple diagrams to detailed cross-sections — illustrate the workings of each item, from simple hooks and levers to complex machinery used in steam, motive, hydraulic, air, and electric power, navigation, gearing, clocks, mining, construction, and more.
Compiled as a ready reference for inventors, students of mechanics, artisans, and other workers, this volume features only minimal text. Its true value lies in its wealth of illustrated information, offering the quickest and most satisfactory method of conveying the exact conditions of mechanical action and construction.

大量的机械机构图解，甚至还有帆船风力控制方法。看得出来，这些都是西方工业革命时期久经考验的硕果，即使在100年后的今天，很多原理依然可以在产品设计中发挥作用。这书对机械机构类产品的创新设计和概念设计非常有用，国内很难找到这么丰富的资料。该书和同一系列的其他几部书中都提到了一个叫做Chinese Pully的机构，就是井上的辘轳，一根轴上带着一粗一细两段轴颈，井绳的两端分别绕在两段轴颈上，井绳中间挂着一个滑轮，滑轮下面挂着水桶。这个简单的机构既省力又有效率，还巧妙的利用了动滑轮原理。看得我非常佩服老祖宗的智慧，在国内出版物中就从来没见有谁介绍这种机构的。
Would be good as a reference for possible classical problem solutions, but only so far as identifying potential options. I was hoping to get a more technical manual with more of the details about how mechanisms worked. Instead, you get a HUGE compilation of mechanisms, with the majority being exceedingly under-explained, with extremely intricate mechanisms scaled down so small as to be nearly impossible to decipher by intuition, even for the technical minded.
Also, author/editor seems to have a very bad habit of repeating near identical mechanisms with very slight variations, and not even in series! If you had each variation next to each other, it would actually be helpful. Instead they are all scattered about, and their individual differences are largely obscured. Instead of being thorough, it just appears to be sloppy editing.
Could be great if it were MUCH more detailed in descriptions and the schematics were bigger. I guess for the money, i got more than I should have expected. But I would much rather have paid 2-3x more for a legitimate, well explained version of all the content that the author attempts to shoe-horn here.
I keep buying this book. I keep it at my desk and give it away every year or so to young engineers anxious to reinvent mechanical solutions. Here is fodder for the seeking mind.
I've consulted these old designs for over 50 years to consider solutions. The trained eye, personal experience and the need to bring solve mechanical problems make these old books relevant. Some solutions are elegant, some are fraught with inefficiency that make them their own sort of application curious, all of the designs have worked for their purpose to make the collection.
The visual enjoyment and puzzle aspect to visualize just how these solutions work make them fun. No need to reinvent the variable transverse drive.
Being a mechanical engineer, this little handbook is awesome for a bathroom companion!
I always used to break open everything in order to figure out how it worked at the fundamental level, and then my parents bought me K'Nex and Legos so I wouldn't break as many devices around the house lol.
When I got into college, I realized that 'mechanical engineering' is basically a grown up version of playing with K'nex and I couldn't have been happier with my choice!
Now this book entertains me for hours!
In order to fit all these examples in one book the amount of description for each item is rather brief.
The other book I ordered, "507 Mechanical Movements: Mechanisms and Devices (Dover Science Books)" has much better descriptions. A few items in that book are still a bit brief, but overall it's a better book.
edit to add:
Getting further into the book, there are a lot of simple devices do ok with the short descriptions, it's mainly any more complicated device that suffers. You might have a single small cross section of an entire machine with a two sentence description.
