Bookwheel illustration
Numéro d’image : 11960092
| 19th century illustration of the bookwheel (sometimes called a reading wheel) is a type of rotating bookcase designed to allow one person to read a variety of heavy books in one location with ease. The books are rotated vertically similar to the motion of a water wheel,as opposed to rotating on a flat table surface. The design for the bookwheel originally appeared in a 16th-century illustration by Agostino Ramelli,at a time when large books posed practical problems for readers. Ramelli's design influenced other engineers and,though now obsolete,inspires modern artists and historians. To ensure that the books remained at a constant angle,Ramelli incorporated an epicyclic gearing arrangement,a complex device that had only previously been used in astronomical clocks | |
