507 Mechanical Movements : Henry T Brown: desertcart.in: Books Review: Snug book with lots of designs, font could have been better - I like the various movement illustrations. The description given for each is very short and that's the reason 500+ illustrations could be fitted in this book. The book is definitely an "ok" reprint and slightly obfuscated at places because of OCR scan on typewriter font didn't go well for this one. Eventually, if one has a knack for crafting things that move, this book can offer ideas. With a 3D printer, one can actually assemble most of these movement designs at home. Definitely a recommend for the tinkerers and curious folks. Review: Doubtful and Expensive reprint... - Look at the photographs i have shared. On the front it says, printed in the USA on acid free paper...and on the back it says printed in India! And i seriously doubt that it is acid free paper...more like photocopy paper. Resembles a pdf file printed on a laser printer and hardbound. For the price...it is not justified. Contents are very interesting, so i am not returning it.

Snug book with lots of designs, font could have been better

It advertises 507 mechanical movements but the only mechanical movement this book makes is the turning of pages, 0/10 Jokes aside, all of the information on this book is available for free on the web as it is a public domain title, but if you are a fan of physical copies such as I, this softcover will serve you very well. It is affordable, the printing quality is authentic to the originals, and it solidly built. Overall, a good addition to any bookshelf. As for the contents, if you're one who upon understanding how a simple, ingenious solutions to a problem works opens up a wide, wonderment-full smile, this book is very much for you.

Each page has the diagram and description of a mechanism and what it does or could be used for. Short entries, PERFECT for bathroom visits.
