Excerpt from Kinematics and Kinetics of Machinery: A Text Book for Colleges, and Technical SchoolsThis book is the outcome Of several years' experience in teach ing kinematics and kinetics Of machinery at the University of Illinois. For many years this subject was taught from notes prepared by Professor G. A. Goodenough, to which was added an article on the gyroscope by Professor F. B. Seely of the Depart ment of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. These notes were several times revised by the authors as experience showed where improvements could be made.In the fall of 1916 the authors undertook, with the consent of Messrs. Goodenough and Seely, to rewrite these notes in text book form. The present volume is the outcome of that under taking. The work was interrupted by the war, which took one of the writers into the military service, and imposed on the other such a heavy burden of teaching work that further progress on the book was impossible. In the fall of 1919 the work was resumed and pushed to completion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
