Relating classical two- and three-dimensional geometry to mechanisms, this book emphasizes geometrical rather than analytical aspects. It sets down the principles and conditions for analyzing and synthesizing mechanical devices. The first half of the book deals with familiar planar mechanisms, and prepares the ground for three-dimensional mechanical movements. The second half develops the potential of "screw theory" in the setting of mechanisms.
