Machinery, Kinematics of - Description:
- The illustration shows the operation of a fan extending from the ceiling, above a table with three seated figures. The mechanism of the fan, including enormous gears, are housed inthe space above the cieling, which has two openings, one for the fan paddle to move back and forth, and another opening for a weight suspended from a thick rope. The descent of the weight turns the gears, causing the fan panel to move. A counterweight attached to the fan panel lets it swing back in the opposite direction. The vertical diagonal line is a crack in the glass plate.
