This comprehensive work compiles remarks and lectures delivered at the Royal Institution and the Institution of Civil Engineers between May 1905 and April 1909. In Volumes 1 and 2 Jordan delves into the mechanics of the sling its historical uses and its potential in various engineering contexts. </p><p>Providing insights into the practical and theoretical aspects of this ancient tool Jordan's study offers a unique perspective on the intersection of historical technology and modern engineering principles. This book is a valuable resource for historians of technology civil engineers and anyone interested in the mechanics and applications of simple machines.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
