Forbidden Lego
It just may be impossible to exhaust the creative potential of LEGO(R) bricks. With an active imagination as your guide, there are endless possibilities----provided you follow the LEGO Company's official (and sensible) rules. This means no cutting or tampering with bricks, creating models that shoot unapproved projectiles, or using non-standard parts with any LEGO product. After all, those little precision-molded ABS bricks can be dangerous on the wrong hands! Well, toss those rules out the window. Forbidden LEGO introduces you to the type of free-style building that LEGO's master builders do for fun in the back room. Using LEGO bricks in combination with common household materials (from rubber bands and glue to plastic spoons and ping-pong balls) along with some very unorthodox building techniques, you'll learn to create working models that LEGO would never endorse. Try your hand at a toy gun that shoots LEGO plates, a candy catapult, a high voltage LEGO vehicle, a continuous-fire ping-pong ball launcher, and other useless but incredibly fun inventions. Once you get into the spirit, you'll want to try inventing your own rule-breaking models. Forbidden Lego's authors share tips and tricks that will inspire you and help you turn your visions into reality. Nothing's against the rules in this book!
Wild Weave
A guide to incorporating natural materials and fostering experimentation in woven projects. In Wild Weave, textile artist Alice Fox encourages an open-minded and playful approach to creating beautiful and innovative woven artworks.

Mastering Digital Manufacturing
Every day, manufacturing teams balance delivery commitments, quality escapes, inventory constraints, and the realities of ageing assets. Many have piloted an IoT proof-of-concept here, a dashboard there, and wondered why the gains did not scale. This book addresses that moment. It is written for the people who make things and keep them running, professionals who know their processes intimately and want technology to assist rather than complicate.Digitalisation can appear to be a wall of terminology. This book takes a different path. In clear, plain language, it explains how a living digital thread connects design, planning, production, and service; how edge-to-cloud systems and closed-loop digital twins turn data into timely action; how computer vision, collaborative robots and autonomous mobile robots, and AR/XR work instructions elevate human performance; and how composable MES, PLM, and automation enable change to scale safely and sustainably. No hype, only what works in real facilities.The book presents concise, candid case studies from factories comparable to yours, then distils them into patterns that can be reused. It provides annotated reference architectures, value scorecards, and practical checklists, as well as tools to move from pilots to production while maintaining momentum. Throughout, it keeps people at the centre: building capability, reshaping roles, and making sustainability measurable, from energy-aware scheduling to Scope 3 visibility, because progress that does not endure is not progress.Whether you are an operations leader, plant or maintenance manager, manufacturing or controls engineer, data and AI practitioner, solution architect, or SME owner, this book meets you at your current stage. Read it cover to cover, or consult the chapter most relevant to your immediate priorities. In either case, you will find a clear path from first proof-point to site-wide adoption.Improving the way things are made remains among the most meaningful endeavours. Start where you are, use what you have, and take the next right step. The factory of the future is not elsewhere; it is the one you will build next.

The Most Important Clock in America
During the years of 1767-1770 David Rittenhouse designed and produced two orreries, one for Princeton Univ. and one for the Univ. of PA. During the last two years of this interval he also produced two 30-day musical tall-cased clocks. The first clock, built in 1769, is currently owned by the PA Hospital. The following year (1770) Rittenhouse made a second tall-case musical clock, which was more elaborate than the first. This clock, currently owned by Drexel Univ., is a very good example of Rittenhouse's work as it has experienced only minor changes over the years. This was the masterpiece of his clock-making career and is a national historical treasure. Here is a detailed analysis of the various gears in the clock. 100+ drawings and full-color photos.
