David Macaulay has a book and a CDROM both titled "The New the Way Things Work". Most public libraries have the book. The CDROM probably has more motion and content to offer. Amazon describes the CDROM at (URL) if the CDROM shows the differential (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jul-99, to lugnet.build)

Howdy, Here's my first attempt at a more realistic engine than those that come with the sets from TLG. Its modeled after the SD70M, which was featured in the July 99 issue of RMC.

I realize this might not be news to many of you but bear with me. I have just realized that the smallest perfect cube that you can make out of LEGO is 16 millimeters on a side. The best way to make one is a 2 x 2 tile (part 3068) on top of a 2 x 2 (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jul-99, to lugnet.build)
