ISBN 0070107750. LCCN 65-23552. A compilation of classical and modern mechanisms and devices for providing a wide variety of motions and functions. This material has been drawn largely from Product Engineering magazine and has be compiled, edited, and thoroughly indexed to permit quick access to an item by its application of by its principle. The book is designed for students of mechanical movements as well as machinery and instrument designers. It covers not only devices for performing such classical functions as providing intermittent motion, but others for more sophisticated requirements such as multiplying, differentiating, torque-limiting, governing, and tension-controlling. Also included are such mechanical components as special-function cams, unusually shaped gears, bellow devices, spring arrangements, escapements, star wheels, genevas, friction devices, differentials, variable-speed drives, and many more. Illustrations show how to arrange these components and devices to provide the necessary functions. Description text copyright 2017 BooksForComfort. Item ID 32143.
