An elementary treatise on mechanics, comprehending the doctrine of equilibrium and motion, as applied to solids and fluids
A college physics textbook compiled by John Farrar, Harvard professor of mathematics and natural philosophy, published in Boston in 1834 for American undergraduates studying equilibrium and motion in solids and fluids. Folding copperplates pack numbered diagrams edge to edge: winches, pulley trains, gear sets, inclined planes, levers, pendulums, plus fine-line geometric constructions, conic sections and hatched solids useful as line-art fragments or grid patterns.
