Quiz: Reuleaux Collection of Kinematic Mechanisms
This ASME Engineering Landmark displays marvels of 19th century ingenuity.
Today, engineering students can study the workings of mechanisms via digital models—often 3D computer models they can explore using virtual reality goggles. In the 19th century, however, professors who wanted to show their students the latest in motion control and transmission would need to provide a working model in the lab. The largest surviving collection of such models are kept at Cornell University. Find out what you know about the Reuleaux Collection of Kinematic Mechanisms by taking this ASME quiz.
