Mechanical engineering -- the design and production of useful objects -- is wide-ranging and fascinating. The book tells the story of beer engines, cane crushing mills, clocks, textiles and mining equipment -- as well as the entrepreneurs and designers who could jump from one discipline to another and who brought Scotland to the very forefront in the 'art' of industrial science.
