The book is written for the designer concerned with creating or inventing a physical or mathematical function, a motion or action, a mechanism, or a machine. It would be valuable to the mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, physicist, and scientist aimed at developing cam-follower systems of all kinds, sizes, and speeds. In addition, shop machinists and toolmakers who make and assemble the machinery will find this book of value in their work. A classic, comprehensive survey of machine elements and analytical design methods. It provides the tools and techniques necessary to facilitate design calculations for the most frequently encountered mechanical elements. It uses worked-out numerical examples to illustrate principles that apply to the entire mechanical design field. It also provides most mathematical derivations and uses simple, unified notation throughout
