Excerpt from The Constructor: A Hand-Book of Machine Design
The freedom with which the author has drawn from English and American sources as well as from Continental practice gives the work a value not found in other treatises upon machine de sign, while the vast improvement which has been made by the introduction of the kinematic analysis and_the resulting classification of the details of the subject, cannot fail to appeal to the instructor as well as to the practising engineer.
The translation has been made from the Fourth Enlarged German Edition of 1889, the last which has appeared in the original, and is complete and unabridged in every respect. The introduction to this edition is especially worthy of note, as it contains the author's summary of the principles set forth in his larger work on Theoretical Kinematics, and the more so as it includes a brief glance at the still wider subject included in his work on Applied Kinematics, as yet unpublished in Germany, and embodying a mass of manuscript which it is trusted will at no: distant day be given to the public.

Excerpt from The Constructor: A Hand-Book of Machine Design
In presenting to the engineering profession of England and America this translation of Reuleaux's Constructor, a few prefatory remarks may be permitted. Although the first edition of the German work appeared as long ago as 1861, and translations have been made into French, Swedish and Russian, no English translation has hitherto been made, notwithstanding the fact that repeated editions and enlargements of the original German work have appeared.
The translation here given, therefore, is the first presentation to English speaking engineers of a work which during the past thirty years has acquired the highest reputation over all Europe, and is so well known to German reading engineers and students in this country that no excuse is needed for its present appearance.
The freedom with which the author has drawn from English and American sources as well as from Continental practice gives the work a value not found in other treatises upon machine design, while the vast improvement which has been made by the introduction of the kinematic analysis and the resulting classification of the details of the subject, cannot fail to appeal to the instructor as well as to the practising engineer.
The translation has been made from the Fourth Enlarged German Edition of 1889, the last which has appeared in the original, and is complete and unabridged in every respect. The introduction to this edition is especially worthy of note, as it contains the authors summary of the principles set forth in his larger work on Theoretical Kinematics, and the more so as it includes a brief glance at the still wider subject included in his work on Applied Kinematics, as yet unpublished in Germany, and embodying a mass of manuscript which it is trusted will at no. distant day be given to the public.
The work of translation has been done with the especial sanction and exclusive authorization of Prof. Reuleaux, by whom also the portrait and special introduction to the American edition have been furnished.
The transformation of the notation of the work from the metric system to the English values has involved much labor and while it is too much to expect entire freedom from errors, notwithstanding the care which has been given to this portion of the work, it is trusted that but few errors will be found. It is especially requested that any corrections which may be found necessary will kindly be sent to the translator for future use.

Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of machine design, offering a comprehensive exploration of the principles and practices that govern the creation of machinery. It stands as a landmark treatise, drawing upon a rich history of engineering innovation and presenting a systematic approach to understanding the complexities of mechanical systems. The author's keen insights into kinematics, the science of motion, form the foundation of this work. By applying kinematic analysis, the seemingly infinite variety of machine forms is reduced to a set of fundamental principles, providing engineers with a powerful tool for designing and analyzing mechanical devices. This book delves into the classification and function of machine elements, exploring concepts such as kinematic pairs, chains, and mechanisms. Beyond theoretical foundations, this book offers practical guidance on the construction of machine components, covering topics such as bearings, gears, belts, and pressure organs. The author's deep understanding of engineering principles is evident in the detailed discussions of design considerations, materials selection, and manufacturing techniques. This book's exploration of kinematics and machine design principles not only provides valuable insights for engineers but also reveals the underlying order and beauty within the seemingly complex world of machinery. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331958529_0
