Mechanical transmissions

June 21, 2008 10:25 AM

Mech-E-filter: Can someone point me to a comprehensive online resource or tutorial with an overview of mechanical power transmission mechanisms? I'm interested the transmission of rotary motion as well as conversion between rotary and linear motion.

Textbook recommendations welcome, but I would really prefer something I can access right away.

This is an excellent book that covers exactly what you're asking about, and a lot more.
