An Early Handbook with Geared Machines at Renaissance Time
摘要
This paper presents one of the first anonymous handbook of machinery with geared systems that circulate since Renaissance. This handbook is discussed for its features of an early anonymous-authored collection of geared systems. Significant are the anonymous character of authorship and the variety of designs that demonstrate a well-established practice of commonly designed geared systems for several applications. Illustrations from the manuscript show several designs for several applications even with modern features of a successful implementation of gears.
