7 Foreword Bryan Lawton is the author of the acclaimed Various and Ingenious Machines. VIM is a 1300 page, two-volume work, which provides a well-researched history of mechanical engineering worldwide, from prehistory to roughly the beginnings of industrialization. The author received the American Society of Mechanical Engineering s Engineering-Historian Award for VIM, in Dr. Lawton is a retired Reader in Thermal Power at Cranfield University in Shrivenham, UK. One of the main purposes of his two-volume VIM is to not only deliver an outline of mechanical engineering history, but also to provide an adequate mathematical treatment for each topic, without straying beyond an engineering first degree level. Thus the reader can enjoy a well-written history and can supplement it with a concise mathematical explanation in the appendices at the end of most of the chapters. The author has told me that VIM represents about ten years of research and three years of solid writing. The result is a seminal work on the historical mechanical engineering theme, If it moves, it s mechanical. It is here, we are now treated by Dr. Lawton to a vade mecum of VIM, the Young Engineer s Guide to Various and Ingenious Machines. What follows this Foreword is a guidebook to the magisterial 1300 page VIM, with shortened chapters but still containing elements of the mathematical appendices. Thus we have VIM in a shortened, more affordable and accessible form, to serve as a guide for possibly probing deeper into the parent work. In this Volume 1, we have six chapters on Power and Transportation which provide a synopsis of the thirteen chapters in VIM s Volume 1. Briefly they are: Chapter 1 deals with muscular work and power, from both humans and animals. Even as late as 1850, 94% of America s industrial power was supplied by humans and animal muscle, with machines supplying the remaining 6%. Waterpower, the subject of Chapter 2, is shown to have origins going back to early Greek times, even chronicled in poetry. Chapter 3 deals with wind power, tracing the development of windmills which appear some 700 years after the first use of water power. Land transport is dealt with in Chapter 4, covering the development of wheeled vehicles. Chapter 5 covers the history of transport by water, with a history of sailing ships. Balloons and submarines are subjects in Chapter 6 on undersea and aerial transport. vii

8 In these chapters, the reader will be rewarded with appendices giving mathematical explanations to supplement the written material. Lee S. Langston ASME Life Fellow Professor Emeritus Mechanical Engineering University of Connecticut Storrs, CT viii

9 Preface This volume grew out of Various and Ingenious Machines: The Early History of Mechanical Engineering, which was first published in 2004 in two volumes. It was intended to cover the whole of early mechanical engineering history from Palaeolithic flint mining through to the start of the industrial revolution. It was quite extensive, but in 2016, Lee S. Langston, Professor Emeritus, University of Connecticut, suggested that some key chapters from the original might be condensed to produce something shorter and less expensive. He thought that engineering students, many of whom are very interested in the history of mechanical devices and how they work, might benefit. Thus, the task was to reduce the 1274 pages of the original to two volumes, each of about 150 pages. This could be achieved only by selecting key sections of the original and condensing them without losing too much of their impact. Consequently, this volume contains six chapters on power generation and transport during the ancient, classical, medieval, and early modern periods. A sister volume covers mining and metalworking. Each chapter closes with a short appendix covering the elementary mathematical theory, up to first degree level. Such analysis should be of interest to engineering students and may also be useful to experimental archaeologists and others who, not being content simply to read about the alleged performance of historical machines, re-create and test them. And if the reader prefers, he can simply omit the appendices without losing the historical development of the subject. Thanks are due to Professor Lee S. Langston, for his suggestion, mentioned above, and for generously agreeing to write a Foreword. I am also grateful to the original publishers, E J Brill, Leiden, for permission to make this selection. Finally, I must thank my wife, Barbara, for her careful checking of the manuscript, for many useful suggestions, and for her great forbearance. Bryan Lawton. ix
