Each of the four volumes of Ingenious
Mechanisms is an independent treatise on the subject of mechanisms. The books
are similar in size and general character, but the contents are different. The
mechanisms described are grouped into chapters according to general types.
Together with the complete index, this arrangement by function makes it easy
to find the class of movement desired, and enables you to compare mechanisms
which are similar in purpose but different in design.
FEATURES
The descriptions and
illustrations are confined to the important and fundamental elements, so that
time is not wasted reading a lot of useless or irrelevant detail. Readers are
told plainly and briefly what each mechanism consists of, how it operates, and
the features which make it of special interest. The particular mechanisms have
been selected because they have stood the test of actual practice. Among the
mechanisms described and illustrated by working diagrams are: cam applications
and special cam designs; intermittent motions from gears and cams;
interlocking devices; valve diagrams; reversing mechanisms of special design;
tripping or stop mechanisms; drives of crank type for reciprocating driven
members; feeding mechanisms and auxiliary devices; feeding and ejecting
mechanisms; and many, many more.
