...cords, has been named the Funicular Machine ; the latter include the five ordinary mechanical powers — the Lever, the Wheel and Axle, the Inclined Plane, the Screw, the Wedge, and the Pulley. We shall consider these several instruments in their order. . 1. The Concentrator...

...natural agents by which momentum is APPLIED. It is obvious, that a great addition is made to human power, where the agents for creating momentum have been discovered....wheel and axle, the inclined plane, the screw, the pully, and the wedge. They are variously combined, for producing the different results of mechanics,...

...few simpler machines, commonly called the mechanical powers. Under this head are usually enumerated the lever, the wheel and axle, the inclined plane, the screw, the wedge, the pulley and rope. Of the lever, we have examples in the common crowbar and handspike ; in...
