Simple Working Models of Historic Machines by Aubrey F. Burstall

I doubt anyone in my family will have occasion to make a working model of the ancient Chinese south-pointing chariot... but it's a peculiarly satisfying feeling to know that if we ever wanted to make it (or an Archimedian snail, or Leonardo da Vinci's treadle lathe), we have all the information we need.
