1800 Mechanical Movements, Devices and Appliances

SIZE: 90MB 416 PAGES Download link: https://goo.gl/1bkov6 The need for an illustrated and condensed work of référence for the inventor, the mechanical student, the artisan, and the workingman v/ith the ambition of an inquiring mind, has become not only apparent to teachers of mechanics, but a real want among ail who are interested in mechanical thought and work. It is an interest the growth of which has been greatly encouraged by the rapid development of the inventive and mechanical arts during the past half century. he increasing inquiries from inventors and mechanics, in regard to the principles and facts in constructive and operative mechanics hâve induced the author to gather such illustrations as hâve been found available on the subject of mechanical motions, devices, and appliances, and to place them in a form for ready référence with only sufficient text to explain the gênerai principles of construction and opération, and as a partial exhibit of the mec...

Geometric and Engineering Drawing 3rd Ed

SIZE: 2MB 360 PAGES Download link: http://bit.ly/2gaafQA Preface Our world has become one where computers are used to solve many problems quickly and accurately. We use calculators to solve arithmetical problems, word pro-cessors to check spelling and grammar in texts and computer-aided design (C.A.D.) programs to do much of our drawing for us. However, in the same way that we need to know what ϩ , Ϫ , ϫ and ÷ mean when we press that symbol on a calculator, and we need to be able to write a text before we can ask a word processor to check it, in the same way we need knowledge and understanding of geometric and engineering drawing before we can use computers to help us with design. These understandings can come through studying and using this book. This third edition starts with and introduces the tools needed for technical draw-ing, with some basic exercises that will help you to practise these skills. Pa...
