What is an "electric eye," and when won't a match dropped into gasoline start a fire? How does a ship's control system work? Can sounds control various devices, and how? What is the secret of automated production in factories, and how do various machines help workers?
This book tells the story of a variety of useful mechanical inventions that once seemed like science fiction but have now become commonplace: radio-controlled cars, talking toys, vending machines, and much more. In other words, this is the story of the origins and development of mechanical engineering and robotics over the past three hundred years.
Written in accessible language and supplemented with photographs, illustrations, and diagrams, this book will appeal to both children interested in science and parents seeking a better understanding of modern technology.
