About This Book

The work surveys mechanical principles and the historical development of machines, beginning with primitive tool use and progressing through tools for making machines, timekeeping, harnessing water and air, heat engines, and power sources. It examines manufacturing processes, materials such as iron and steel, machining, textile and paper production, printing, earthmoving and agricultural machinery, and transport by land, sea, and air. Illustrations and chapters on automated mechanisms, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, and engines of destruction complete a concise account of technological evolution and practical mechanics.
