§ A rare book describing and illustrating a hydraulic ram. Eytelwein had published a few years earlier his classic Handbuch der Mechanik und der Hydraulik (1801) 'containing a remarkable account of studies on the flow of water in compound pipes, the motion of jets and their impact on surfaces' (History of technology V, 545). <<Eytelwein, like his French contemporary M. R. de Prony, was one of the first to write on the application of mechanics and mathematics to the design of structures and machines in order to bring rational methods to both the practicing engineer and the student. >>R.S. Hartenberg DSB 4:501b.
