Mechanical Movements, Powers And Devices is a comprehensive reference book that provides a detailed description of various mechanisms, machines, and devices used in mechanical engineering. The book is authored by Gardner D. Hiscox and was first published in 1899. It has since been revised and updated several times to keep up with the latest advancements in mechanical engineering.The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a specific type of mechanism or device. The chapters cover topics such as gears, cams, linkages, pulleys, belts, chains, and much more. Each chapter provides a detailed explanation of the mechanism, along with illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the working principles of each device.The book also includes a section on steam engines, which covers the different types of steam engines, their components, and how they work. There is also a section on hydraulics and pneumatics, which covers the principles of fluid mechanics and how they are applied in various machines and devices.Mechanical Movements, Powers And Devices is an excellent reference book for mechanical engineers, students, and anyone interested in learning about the different types of mechanisms and machines used in mechanical engineering. It is a must-have book for anyone who wants to understand the working principles of machines and devices and how they are used in various applications.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
