The use of a cord in mechanism presents us with many practical applications of
this theory , which are in general extremely simple ; although curious , and not
always very easy , geometrical problems occur in connexion with it ...

The following practical methods of effecting such a combination in the simple
case of the movements of two points are useful in scientific illustrations and in
certain mechanical arrangements . Let two moving points be joined by a uniform

In practice we meet with many excellent examples of this case , which will ,
however , be more conveniently treated of when we come to apply kinetic
principles to various subjects in practical mechanics , acoustics , and physical
optics ; such ...
