{"product_id":"9781108070010","title":"Treatise on Mills and Millwork (Cambridge Library Collection - Technology)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the great Victorian engineers, Sir William Fairbairn (1789-1874) had started his career as a millwright's apprentice, going on to become a civil engineer, a designer of industrial machinery and an expert on the failure of materials and structures. The present work distils a lifetime's experience of mechanical design into two highly illustrated parts. First published in 1861 and 1863, they are here reissued in a single volume. Part 1 gives a general overview of mechanisms such as gears, cranks and cams, and then moves on to the design of prime movers: waterwheels and turbines, steam engines and boilers, and windmills. Part 2 covers the design of mechanisms in more detail, and discusses power transmissions and their components: shafts, gears, bearings, couplings and so on. Lastly, Fairbairn gives overviews of the most important types of industrial mill - including cotton, wool, paper, iron and gunpowder - and their machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48727042588907,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":151.98,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781108070010-1.jpg?v=1781655402","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9781108070010","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
