The Schröder kinematic models at the Foundation for Science and Technology (FST) comprise one of the largest collection of kinematic models of the Jacob Peter Schröder company of Darmstadt, Germany founded in 1837.

KMODDL - Kinematic Models for Design Digital Library

His catalogs of 1870-1900 listed models copied after the kinematics and machine engineering books of Ferdinand Redtenbacher of Karlsruhe University and his student, Franz Reuleaux of the Technical Uniersity of Berlin. These models were awarded many prizes at international exhibitions. In 1850, Leopold II, Grand Duke of Tuscany, established the “Istituto Tecnico Toscano,” The Istituto collections were enriched by machines, models of machines, scientific and didactic material, and publications from various European countries.

This Physics Cabinet conserves the largest and most complete Italian collection of nineteenth-century instruments for the study and teaching of physics.

Skill Set: The Beginning (Mechanical) Engineer's Checklist. A while ago MAKE did a post on A Beginning Engineer’s Checklist from the PIClist site.

Skill Set: The Beginning (Mechanical) Engineer's Checklist

And while I love these kind of lists, it left me – as a mechanical engineering – feeling a little left out, with all the talk of chips and Ohm’s Law and power busses (oh my!). It also reminded me of a list we had posted on a bulletin board at my first job, called Akin’s Laws of Spacecraft Design, which definitely apply to more than just spacecraft. So here’s my attempt at rearranging and adding to these lists to give them more of a mechanical flavor and include some of my own lessons learned over the last few years. 1. NEVER loan out your copies of:Machinery’s HandbookShigley’s Mechanical Engineering DesignMaking Things Move: DIY Mechanisms for Inventors, Hobbyists, and Artists (okay this one is a shameless plug, but Dug North told me it’s “destined to be be a classic of sorts” so you can blame him) 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Those who can walk away from the negotiation — legitimately walk away, not just make a show of it — are in the strongest position. Those who are convinced they need to make the deal are in the weakest position. This is true of negotiating when you’re buying a car, closing the sale of your new home, haggling in a foreign flea market, or trying to get a raise. It’s also true of anything in life. Know that there’s almost nothing you can’t walk away from. If you are convinced you need a nice house with a walk-in closet and hardwood floors and a huge kitchen, you now have a weakness.

If you are convinced that you need Stabucks grande lattes every day, or an iPhone or iPad, or an SUV or Cooper Mini or BMW … you are in the weak position, because you can’t give it up. If you know that there’s almost nothing you can’t walk away from, you can save yourself tons of money.
