Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a historic memoir of the author's ventures into mechanical engineering in the mid-19th century. A lawyer by trade, the author accidentally embarked on a new career after investing in a stone-cutting machine and subsequently designing improvements to its engine. The author had no mechanical engineering knowledge prior to this, so educated himself; his construction drawings and designs are included in the book, along with diagrams of his innovations. These inventions eventually led to the development of the high-speed engine, which revolutionized the industry. The author's account illuminates the technological and cultural landscape of 19th-century engineering, which was characterized by rapid innovation, trial, and error. An especially interesting inclusion in the book is the author's interaction with the scientific and engineering communities of the time, who frequently scorned his unconventional approach to problem-solving. Today, however, his 'uneducated' approach to solving problems is widely praised for its innovation and ingenuity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332433919_0
