...MECHANICS GENERAL LAW All machinery, however complicated, is merely a combination of six elementary forms, viz.: the lever, the wheel and axle, the pulley, the inclined plane the wedge, and the screw; and these six can be still further reduced to the lever and the inclined plane. They are termed mechanical... | |

...expressed in numbers. 643. Simple and Compound Machines. — Six SIMPLE MACHINES are generally recognized: The LEVER, the WHEEL and AXLE, the PULLEY, the INCLINED PLANE, the WEDGE, and the SCREW. Most machines are COMPOUND MACHINES, ie, they are combinations of two or more of the simple machines.... | |
