EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, titled "Dividing and Cutting Engines with Diagonal Motion," is an intriguing illustration from the Abraham Rees Cyclopedia or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and Literature, published in London in 1812. The image, created by the skilled hand of engraver Duncan after a drawing by J. Farey, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century engineering. At the heart of the illustration lies a complex machine, its intricate gears and mechanisms poised for action. The engines, with their diagonal motion, are in the process of being divided and cut, a crucial step in their manufacture. The diagonal motion is achieved through the use of intersecting beams and cranks, which create an angled force that powers the engines' division. The intricate details of the engines and their components are rendered with remarkable precision by the engraver, each line and contour faithfully captured on the copperplate. The illustration also provides a glimpse into the workshop environment, with various tools and workmen in the background, adding to the sense of industry and productivity. This engraving is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the 19th century, showcasing the intricacies of engineering and the importance of precise manufacturing processes. The diagonal motion engines, though now largely obsolete, represent an essential chapter in the history of engineering and technology, and this illustration serves as a valuable record of their design and manufacture.
