Cardboard Engineering Source Book – Free Sample Project.

To tempt you to buy the whole Cardboard Engineering Source Book, I’ve made a free sample project available on the Source Book page. Enjoy!

A 55 page ebook aimed at people who teach and people who want to learn! The book centres around ten extendable cardboard engineering projects which introduce many mechanisms, from simple cams to crank sliders and swash plate.
The eBook, described by the Times Education Supplement as “a huge boost to mechanisms work in schools” has everything you need to get you started designing your own models.
