Machine Design Kinematics Of Machinery 1900 PDF Download

Excerpt from Machine Design, Vol. 1: Kinematics of Machinery In these notes an attempt is made, first, to give, as clearly and concisely as possible, the principles of mechanical motion in such a manner that their application can readily be made to any mechanism for determining the motion of any of its parts; then to show the methods of dealing with such problems as the designer meets daily. Long and tedious discussions have been avoided as far as possible, it is hoped, fully. Subjects such as toothed gearing and couplings are taken up only to the extent of the forms that are in the most common use. But with these subjects, as well as all others, references to what are believed to be the best works in their lines are given frequently. All available works on the subject have been freely consulted, but in no case has any matter which has not become common property by its frequent publication been used without the consent of its author. The exceedingly clear and concise work of Prof. Albert W. Smith, of Stanford University, entitled "Machine Design," has been of most valuable assistance throughout. This work includes both kinematics and mechanics. To Prof. Smith, especially, the writer would acknowledge his obligations and express his thanks.
