Hi!

For those fond of mechanisms and kinematics this is a great site: http://kmoddl.library.cornell.edu/

Models, tutorials, references, free e-books, etc.

Waaaaay kewl!

RE: Great website about mechanisms and kinematics topics

The site is quite interesting as some of the same data is graphed or shown in a set of my father's International Correspondence School Textbooks For Mechanical Engineerig from 1924.
All the principles of elementary mechanics are presented and derived graphically.  There is a chapter on Kinematics, forces being the cause of motion.

All the formulas/theorems/theory are presented and proven graphically using only algebra, trigonometry and  geometry.  

Some of the resolutions of problems of motion and forces in a steam engine are quite complex.  I tried to do the graphical solutions on the computer and it presented a few problems.  I can just imagine my father or anyone else with nothing more than a scale and compass working these problems out under an oil lamp.
