Thread: Mechanisms and mechanical devices

Thanks for the heads up, Andy! This is the sort of book that keeps me awake at night.

Just out of curiosity, I ran a google search and noticed quite a bit of price variation; from US$60 up to US$90! It obviously pays to shop around.

Or Download it for FREE

Hi Skew,
I'm with you there, I just love poring over things like this, trying to nut out the how and what! I used one example from this book to make the gizmo pictured, based it on a typewriter key mechanism- lots of stroke amplification. The section on Genevas is really good too.

Hey wheelin',
I just went to download it and didn't get very far, no live link on the cover as the instructions suggested? Did you manage it?

Cheers,

Yep no problem the books are all .rar compressed so need win.rar or similar

look at where the arrows are Andy fr download and password if there is none there none needed

I'm pretty sure I have a hard copy around here someplace. Highly recommended. If nothing else, it can provide keywords for searching in Google or patent office databases for later improvements, or applications in other areas.

In the nicest possible way Andy Mac............please don't recommend any more books.....the last three you recommended are now well thumbed in my library..........looks like another is on its way.
Bugger!!

Just downloaded it.
What a great book.

Noel what ever you do Don't go to freebookspot and not the DiY or Mechanichal Engineering or computer sections. it could break your bank account having to buy a storage drive.

I've tried twice now to download it, so its sitting on my desktop. Even used 2 .zip file managers, and despite trying the password that site lists I can't open the F*&^%$ thing.
Might stick with the library book

Have you tried WinRAR? That's what I used and it works fine. http://www.rarlab.com/

Yep, just tried that one too. My BIL the computer nerd was just here helping me with it and installed that. Turns out the file is corrupted

Check your PM's Andy

My sad....is that those type of files don't work on a Mac (sad sad sad)

Borrow a copy from the library if necessary. I found my hard copy (a minor miracle in itself) while looking for something else. I'm pretty sure you can photocopy the Table of Contents, under the fair-use doctrine of Copyright, to get a list of keywords for later Google or patent search. YMMV, of course.
