Leonardo Da Vinci and the Beginnings of Factories with a Central Source of Power
Leonardo and Ramelli
The cover illustration of the July 1970 issue of Technology and Culture reproduced a long-known design of Agostino Ramelli for a revolving bookcase about which Bert S. Hall wrote a most illuminating and fresh study illustrating its kinematics and rectifying many old and recent assumptions about its alleged impracticability.' In a note on the possible derivation of this idea of Ramelli's, Hall advances the hypothesis that Ramelli learned of epicyc…

The Double-Acting Principle in East and West
The Cover Design THE DOUBLE-ACTING PRINCIPLE IN EAST AND WEST LADISLAO RETI Since 1757, when Sir William Chambers called attention to the “per petual bellows” of China,1 Western scholars, first among them that pioneer of the history of technology in America, Thomas Ewbank,2 joined with enthusiasm in praise of this unique piece of human ingenuity. Writing in 1937, Rudolf P. Hommel maintained that the Chinese boxbellows has the merit of surpassing…
On the Efficiency of Early Horizontal Waterwheels
cestry and once widespread diffusion were indeed amazingly efficient.1 There is a substantial difference between speculations about drawings and descriptions contained in old books and manuscripts and actual observation and measurement of the performance of working machines as done by Wulff. His factual finding that free jet mills of Persia of traditional construction are capable of delivering a power output of 8-10 h.p. with a coefficient of eff…
The Leonardo da Vinci Codices in the Biblioteca Nacional of Madrid
The Codex of Juanelo Turriano (1500-1585)
In a communication published in a recent number of this journal' I made a short reference to the manuscript of Juanelo Turranio now in the Biblioteca Nacional of Madrid (MSS 3372/3376), and to the fortunate sequence of events that once more brought it to light. The purpose of this article is to supply more details in order to show the characteristics, contents, and thereby the importance of this neglected document

Parting of Gold and Silver with Nitric Acid in a Page of the Codex Atlanticus of Leonardo da Vinci
Francesco di Giorgio Martini's Treatise on Engineering and Its Plagiarists
FRANCESCO DI GIORGIO MARTINI (1439-1501), the great Sienese painter, sculptor, and architect, was also interested, as were several of his contemporary fellow craftsmen, in the study and development of mechanical devices. This was in accordance with the still flourishing Vitruvian tradition. His engineering treatise, still little known, is mainly dedicated to civil and military architecture and contains hundreds of small but perfectly drawn illust…
