 Engineer
to Win $17.47
by Carroll Smith
This book is considered to be essential to any robot builder's
library.
This book can look a little daunting as you flick through
the pages, however, once you begin to read it, you realise
just how good it is! Starting with a basic metallurgy and
physics course that most school text books should look to
copy, Mr. Smith keeps interest in what could be a somewhat
tedious subject using witty comments and practical observations.
He then leads us through steel making, alloy processes and
finally on to the application of all of the above in the
racing car. A brilliant book from start to finish.

 Five
Hundred and Seven Mechanical Movements
$13.95
by Henry T. Brown
Over five hundred simple mechanical movements from America's
first one hundred years of the Industrial Revolution.
For those who share an interest in mechanical things,
this book is addictive. Through the use of simplified,
concise drawings, here are 507 of the small components
which make up complex machinery in areas as diverse as
C.R. Otis's safety stop for the elevator, Pickering's
governor for a steam engine, Arnold's escapement for watches,
compound parallel rules, piston rod guides, the grasshopper
beam engine and a self recording level for surveyors.
The list goes on and on in fascinating variety, with each
movement explained and illustrated.
