Could be very useful for my Absinthium design.
Originally
published in 1928, my copy is the Fourth edition from 1940 (it has a
nice standard disclaimer about following the "Recommendations of the War
Production Board for the conservation of paper and other important war
materials").
While not Victorian it does have one of the most extensive discussions on the design and analysis of the physical workings of machines I have ever seen. Starting with basic mathematics of motion it goes into analysing levers, linkage systems, sliders and cranks, cams, gears and gear trains as well as pulley and belt systems.
The examples and chapter questions hold the most amazing selection of odd machine movements for which the student is encouraged to analyse for speed, acceleration, power, friction and other calculations that would be needed to fit a design for a practical purpose.
The chapters on gear design and the analysis of gear trains are wonderful for anybody trying to figure out if their machine could actually work.
