Francis Charles Moon Reuleauxreference collection, 1841-2010

http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/EAD/xml/dlxs/RMM06960.xml

Papers regarding German engineer Franz Reuleaux and thecollection of his kinematic models housed at Cornell University. Papers wereassembled by Cornell Professor of Engineering Frank Moon during the late 1990's andearly 2000's, particularly during research trips to Germany. They include Moon'sresearch notes on Reuleaux and Reuleaux's influence, biography and genealogy;photocopies and transcriptions of letters, essays and drawings created by Reuleaux;Moon's academic papers and professional work on Reuleaux; and research on Cornell'skinematic model collection and other kinematic models. Papers also include materialon specific projects, such as the permanent exhibit of Reuleaux's kinematic modelsat Cornell, and the Kinematic Models for Design Digital Library (KMODDL), an onlinecollection of digitized images and information on kinematics.

Franz Reuleaux (1829-1905), a German engineer of Belgian heritage, was an influential figure in machine design and kinematics, or the science of movement. He was known for designing more than 800 teaching models to demonstrate kinematic principles. He contributed to the development of engineering as a professional science, integrating mathematical and scientific principles into engineering design. Born in Eschweiler in Prussia, he studied under Ferdinand Redtenbacher at Karlsruhe, and also studi...
