Discover how to move from circles to straight lines with precision. This overview of linkages explains a practical approach to drawing exact straight motion, using simple components and clear reasoning. It presents how early ideas evolved into mechanisms that produce smooth, accurate movement, even without a ready-made straight-edge.
The text frames the problem, compares methods, and shows how varying pivots, links, and tracing points can create reliable straight-line motion. It balances practical demonstrations with the ideas behind the workings, offering insight into the design of machines and instruments that rely on precise guidance of moving parts.
Ideal for readers of engineering history and anyone curious about how clever linkages solve real-world problems.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history and practical aspects of linkages, a type of machinery composed of interconnected pieces that move in precise ways to create a variety of motions. The author details how the study of linkages led to the development of the first accurate parallel motion, revolutionizing the design of steam engines. Through accessible explanations and numerous illustrations, the book explores the mathematical principles behind linkages and how they can be used to create complex motions with remarkable accuracy and smoothness. The author's insights shed light on the evolution of engineering and provide valuable perspective for anyone interested in the history, theory, or application of precision machinery.
