Machinery, Kinematics of
BORGNIS, GIUSEPPE ANTONIO. _Traité complet de mécanique appliquée aux
arts._ Paris, 1818-1821, 9 vols.
Contains several hundred finely detailed plates of machines.
LABOULAYE, CHARLES. _Traité de cinématique ou théorie des mécanismes._
Paris, 1861 (ed. 2).
This work was quoted frequently by Laboulaye's contemporaries.
ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. _Catalogue of Scientific Papers, 1800-1900,
Author Index._ London, 1867-1902, and Cambridge, 1914-1925.
----. _Catalogue of Scientific Papers, 1800-1900, Subject Index._
London, 1909, vol. 2.
This subject index was started in 1908, and by 1914 three volumes (the
third in two parts) had been published; however, this subject index was
never completed. Volume 2, titled _Mechanics_, has some 200 entries
under "Linkages." It is interesting to note that both of the Royal
Society's monumental catalogs grew out of a suggestion made by Joseph
Henry at a British Association meeting in Glasgow in 1855.

3, pt. 1, sec. 2 of _Mechanics of Engineering and Machinery_, translated
by J. F. Klein. New York, 1890 (ed. 2).
