507 Mechanical Movements

This book has helped to reference simple machine motions for years, now. It is a wonderful ally to have at your side when you need a quick look at anything for engineering and even just simply learning about mechanical contraptions and their uses!

As a huge fan of reference books I was very happy to add this to my library. All kinds of neat things in this book. If you are into physics, especially anything regarding mechanical movement then you'll like this book. Very reasonably priced as well.

Book looks good and interesting. On time and happy.

Bought it because internet was spotty and ive been making simple machines for awhile. This little guide is great to stare at and think about what you are going to make.

Each page has the diagram and description of a mechanism and what it does or could be used for. Short entries, PERFECT for bathroom visits.

Interesting book but it’s a little lite on the details

This is so much better than using the online version for everything. If I need to make something I can just open it up and flip to any entry without experiencing lag or needing to switch tabs to reference it.

Very interesting. The book is well made, tight binding, durable cover, acid free paper.Some people have complained about the quality of the text. It looks like a copy of a copy. I see this a lot in Dover books. It is a photo reproduction of an out-of-copyright text that was probably originally printed with a letterpress, instead of a modern offset press. The font is very small, and a little wobbly, but it is legible.Pages alternate with illustrations and descriptions of those illustrations on facing pages. Between seven and nine devices in each section.Great resource for ideas. I can understand why it's still in print.
