Abstract:
Papers regarding German engineer Franz Reuleaux and the collection of his kinematic models housed at Cornell University. Papers were assembled by Cornell Professor of Engineering Frank Moon during the late 1990's and early 2000's, particularly during research trips to Germany. They include Moon's research notes on Reuleaux and Reuleaux's influence, biography and genealogy; photocopies and transcriptions of letters, essays and drawings created by Reuleaux; Moon's academic papers and professional work on Reuleaux; and research on Cornell's kinematic model collection and other kinematic models. Papers also include material on specific projects, such as the permanent exhibit of Reuleaux's kinematic models at Cornell, and the Kinematic Models for Design Digital Library (KMODDL), an online collection of digitized images and information on kinematics.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Francis Charles Moon is the Joseph C. Ford Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University.
Franz Reuleaux (1829-1905), a German engineer of Belgian heritage, was an influential figure in machine design and kinematics, or the science of movement. He was known for designing more than 800 teaching models to demonstrate kinematic principles. He contributed to the development of engineering as a professional science, integrating mathematical and scientific principles into engineering design. Born in Eschweiler in Prussia, he studied under Ferdinand Redtenbacher at Karlsruhe, and also studied in Berlin and Bonn. After teaching in Zurich at the Polytechnic School, he taught at what became the Koenigs Technischen Hochschule in Berlin-Charlottenburg Berlin for many years, becoming its rector in 1890. As a prominent engineer, he was a German ambassador at international exhibitions and expositions, including the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition in 1876 and the Vienna Exhibition in 1873.

Funded by the Humboldt Foundation and others, Moon researched Reuleaux at archives such as the Deutsches Museum in Munich. This series includes Moon’s notes and correspondence, photocopies of original documents, and secondary source material. For material relating to Moon’s research on models, please see Series 2.
Includes photocopies and transcriptions of original primary source documents created by Reuleaux, such as Reuleaux’s correspondence, publications and drawings.
Includes research on Reuleaux’s biography and family. Genealogical material includes family trees and information on his ancestors and descendants.
Contains information on kinematic models. These include models designed by Reuleaux and others, those housed at Cornell and those dispersed around the world. Also includes material on projects related to models, including the exhibit of Cornell’s Reuleaux collection and the KMODDL library.
Information about models designed by Reuleaux, especially those housed at other institutions. Reuleaux designated Gustav Voigt and J. Schroeder to manufacture his models, and this subseries contains catalogs of the models Voigt and Schroeder sold. It also includes material on models designed by Reuleux’s mentor, Redtenbacher.
Records pertaining to the Reuleaux models obtained by Cornell president A.D. White in 1882. Includes material on the history of the collection and its use as a teaching tool. Also includes material on the permanent exhibit of the models in Duffield Hall, known as the Reuleaux Collection of Mechanisms and Machines, and designated a National Mechanical Engineering Historic Collection by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers History and Heritage Committee.
Records pertaining to the creation of the Kinematic Models for Design Digital Library (KMODDL), an online library about kinematics and kinematic models, created by Moon and his collaborators at other institutions. It includes drafts of tutorials and essays for KMODDL, correspondence, and information regarding the National Science Foundation grant that originally funded the project.
Information on models not designed by Reuleaux. Many of these model collections became a part of the KMODDL project.
Includes drafts and final copies of Moon’s academic papers on Reuleaux and others. Also includes relevant materials for Moon’s lectures and presentations on Reuleaux.
Includes images of model collections, many of which were for the KMODDL project. They include photographs taken of models at the Deutsches Museum and Karlsruhe, and original slides of images of Cornell’s Reuleaux models. Additional formats include CD’s, floppy disks, and printouts.
