Publisher's Synopsis
""A Monograph On The Mechanics And Equilibrium Of Kites"" by C. F. Marvin is a comprehensive guide to the physics and engineering principles behind the design and flight of kites. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the history of kites, the various types of kites and their uses, the mechanics of kite flight, and the principles of equilibrium and stability that govern kite design. The author also discusses the various materials and construction techniques used to build kites, as well as the different methods of controlling and maneuvering them in the air. This monograph is an essential reference for anyone interested in the science of kites or the art of kite flying.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
