Abstract

Ancient Chinese mechanical devices with linkage mechanisms can be divided by functions into four types: levers, pumping tubes, grain processing devices, and other devices. This chapter presents the functions and components of the devices. Then, according to the degree of clarity of the illustrations, by applying the procedure described in Chap. 5, the numbers of members and the possible types of joints are analyzed, and all feasible designs of the devices are synthesized.
