Reuleaux Kinematic Mechanisms Collection
rnell University Library Digital Collections Reuleaux Kinematic Mechanisms Collection The Kinematics Models for Design Digital Library (KMODDL) was developed at Cornell University in 2003-2005 as an open access, multimedia resource for learning and teaching about kinematics – the geometry of pure motion – and the history and theory of machines. The core of KMODDL is the Reuleaux Collection of Mechanisms and Machines, an important collection of 19th-century machine elements held by Cornell University’s Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
The original KMODDL digital resource was a collection in the National Science Digital Library, developed through a collaborative grant with the faculty of the Cornell University College of Engineering, the Cornell University Library, and several external partners. The Reuleaux models are classified according to the alphanumeric system employed in the catalog of the manufacturer, Gustav Voigt. This classification scheme is a simplified version of the taxonomy of machine elements elaborated in Reuleaux's work.
