This book is about the evolution of these machines and the inv- tors and engineers who created them from the early Renaissance to the early 20th century.

A major thesis of this book is that the evolution of machine design methodology, from the intuitive methods of the workshop to the math-based, engineering science analysis and synthesis of modern industrial design, was of equal achievement as the creation of the marvelous machines themselves. In the past two decades there has been increasing interest in rational me- ods of |
