Many of them are in excellent working order and provide a valuable insight into the partnership between man and machine going back, not just to the Industrial Revolution, but to a time of 1,000 years ago or more. Stan Yorke is an engineer and designer with a lifelong interest in early machinery and the industry it powered. He describes the background of both waterwheels and windmills and the crucial part they played in the country's development. In particular, he explains in simple language, without recourse to overly technical terms, how the different machines work. The book is illustrated with photographs from the author, together with numerous line diagrams and drawings by Trevor Yorke. It also includes a list of those open to the public. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:
