Cams: Elementary And Advanced (1921) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164595564)

Cams: Elementary and Advanced is a technical book written by Franklin Deronde Furman and published in 1921. The book is a comprehensive guide to the design, analysis, and application of cams, which are mechanical devices used to convert rotary motion into linear motion. The book is divided into two main sections: elementary and advanced. The elementary section covers the basics of cam design, including terminology, geometry, and kinematics. It also includes a detailed explanation of the different types of cams, such as radial, cylindrical, and plate cams. The advanced section delves deeper into the analysis and design of cams, including the use of graphical methods and numerical techniques. Throughout the book, Furman provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts and principles discussed. He also includes practical applications of cam design, such as in machinery and engines. Cams: Elementary and Advanced is a valuable resource for engineers, designers, and students who are interested in the theory and application of cams. It is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers with varying levels of technical knowledge. Despite being over a century old, the book remains relevant and informative for those interested in mechanical engineering and design.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
