Catalogue of the collection of mechanical driving motors

The catalogue of mechanical driving motors includes 152 of the most significant collection items of the NTM - wind and water motors, steam engines, turbines and combustion engines - from the 1. half of the 19. century up until to the recent history. The text contains information about the products, their origin and their technical and performance parameters and is completed with 90 photographs. One part of the catalogue is an introductory study about the Genesis of the different types of mechanical driving motors, with regards to the domestic development and a detailed index of topics, names and localities. All this makes it an essential publication for all interested in the history of Czech technology and its place in the context of world development.

The publishing of a Czech version is planned for the years 1997 and 1998 at an overall cost of 1.2 mil. Czech crowns. The publishing of another versions may follow.
