It's a great collection and exploring it is fun, but it misses on titles / names of the given linkage or movement. It makes sense when you are reading the book [0], but on a site like this where you see the individual item in isolation, a title or name would be helpful.

One of my favourite sites! and an interesting example of that class of sites which are book made into sites with animations/interaction --- the another classic and notable example is:
https://mathcs.clarku.edu/~djoyce/java/elements/elements.htm...
Really wish that the folks doing the 507 Mechanical Movements would finish the balance of the animations.
Curious if folks are aware of other similar text/website combinations which are still extant (many others such as Bembo's Zoo are no longer available, and of course at one point in time, this sort of thing was the province of CD-ROMs such as Leonardo).

If you ever happened to go through Karlsruhe, Germany, there is a collection of mechanical transmission models from Redtenbacher. Some models were on display in the mechanical engineering building at the university.
I could only find this link (in German) about the collection.

One student from Redtenbacher was Reuleaux and there is another collection of transmission from Reuleaux at Cornell university.

Two more great books to have in the mechanical world:
"Manufacturing Processes for Design Professionals" - amazing photos, diagrams, explanations, etc. of every major manufacturing process - great coffee table book.
https://www.amazon.com/Manufacturing-Processes-Design-Profes...
"Materials Selection in Mechanical Design" - great book with "Ashby Charts" that let you compare materials against their material properties - e.g. strength vs. weight.
