The Kinematics of Machinery - Outlines of a Theory of Machines #222291

The greater part of the Theoretische Kinematik of Prof. Reuleaux, which I have now the pleasure of presenting to English and American readers, was originally published in chapters in the Berliner Verhandlungen, under the title of Kinematische Mit theilnngen. These papers, revised and enlarged, and with the addition of a chapter on Kinematic Synthesis, were published collectively in 1874 — 5 in the work of which the present is a translation. They have attracted considerable attention in Germany, and the principles laid down in them have already made their way into Polytechnic School instruction, not only in that country but also in Russia and Italy.
