This book was very useful. However, it doesn't cover each state in depth, so if you are just visiting one state, you might look for a more comprehensive guide for that state.

Book Description

The descriptions and illustrations are confined to the important and fundamental elements, so that time is not wasted reading a lot of useless or irrelevant detail.
Readers are told plainly and briefly what each mechanism consists of, how it operates, and the features which make it of special interest.
The particular mechanisms have been selected because they have stood the test of actual practice.
Among the mechanisms described and illustrated by working diagrams are: cam applications and special cam designs; intermittent motions from gears and cams; interlocking devices; valve diagrams; reversing mechanisms of special design; tripping or stop mechanisms; drives of crank type for reciprocating driven members; feeding mechanisms and auxiliary devices; feeding and ejecting mechanisms; and many, many more.

I expected more.......2007-04-06

I expected something truely ingenious that would leave me enlightened after buying and reading this set. They are very interesting, but I'm not so sure that ingenious is the right word, Clever maybe.. Just remember this was copyrighted in 1930, it's old technology now. It is a good basis to build upon, and you might get some ideas you hadn't seen before. I'm glad to have them.

Some many ideas !.......2006-12-22

This set of book is essential reading for all engineers - so many ideas are not new !!

Good.......2006-11-06

More like a list of repeated patents. It helps to get some ideas in the design process.

Reliability.......2005-09-29

I thrust the Amazon and i love of Amazons reliability,
Book is like that What amazons say about it, and delivered before promised. Book is so efficient gives many ideas about the mechanism building techniques...
advice to all who deal with nontradition mechanism...
and thrust Amazon..

Patent information repackaged.......2005-05-10

Have you ever read a US Patent all the way through? That's what this book consists of -- a group of interesting and ingenious patents. Ie: very text based and very tediously written. For example: "Shaft A rotates within the proximity of cam B in a concentric manner producing a force C which exposes gate D to a level of thrust.... and so on"

While you don't have to be an engineer to read a patent document (but it helps), it's very time consuming to read through them and gain a summary understanding of how the device/mechanism is supposed to work. Patent lawyers write patents to protect the invention and not to make it easy for the average person to understand them.

I was hoping that this book was more descriptive with better diagrams than just a collection patents. A better title would've been "Ingenious Mechanisms - A collection of patents for Designers and Inventors".
