The Everyday Workings of Machines [PDF ebook] 
How machines work, from toasters and trains to hovercrafts and robots

These and many more important questions are answered in this fascinating book. From toasters and telephones to hovercrafts and robots – the inner workings of machines big and small are brought to light using a stunning mix of cross-sections, close-ups and cutaways.
