Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is not simply a dictionary of engineering terms but a fascinating compendium of the tools, machinery, and implements, in use since antiquity by engineers to build and maintain the world around us. Compiled by Oliver Byrne, an authority on applied mechanics and inventor, it is densely packed with historical and practical information across engineering disciplines, yet written with the non-specialist in mind. The book gives a detailed overview of the history and uses of tools, and their adaptations to the demands of various industries, illustrated by thousands of engravings. Some entries contain details of Byrne's own inventions, especially where he saw deficiencies or room for improvement in existing practices. Besides being an invaluable reference source, the book is a fascinating read for anyone with an interest in the ingenuity of engineers and the history of technology.
