Description:Excerpt from Rudimentary Treatise on the Construction of Cranes and Machinery The subject of this Treatise is the construction and use of machines which diminish toil, and facilitate and lessen labour without superseding it, enabling men to perform what they could not accomplish without such aid. Deprived of mechanical power, a man's force is limited to his muscular strength, of which he has but little, in proportion to his bulk and weight, when compared with other animals; his disposable mechanical force, when daily exerted for ten hours, being only about one-tenth of his weight. The old race of millwrights - men who designed and constructed their own work - may be considered extinct; and the operative engineers or "fitters" of modern times, although excellent workmen at the vice or the lathe, have, since the introduction of self-acting tools, and by the classification of labour, become almost machines themselves. One man has been trained to do one thing, in doing which, however skilful he may be, he exercises no discretion of his own; he has nothing to contrive or to proportion. But good springs out of evil.
