STRANDH, SIGVARD. The History Of The Machine.
Dorset Press, New York: 1989. 0880293918 / 9780880293914 Reprint Edition. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Reading copy.
This is not simply an engrossing treatment of actual machines, how they work, and what their uses are, but it's also a chronicle of the great men who invented, improved, and manufactured them. Here is related the genius of Archimedes, the creativity of Hero, the great but stillborn talent of Polsunov, the researches of the methodical Smeaton, the inventiveness of Watt. Here, too, we find the flair and ingenuity of Diesel, Edison, Ford, von Braun, Wiener, and Wankel. This record of the machine's development is also a record of the genius of mankind. Includes an Index.
