Focusing predominantly on machines that are operated manually, The Repair Shop’s Dominic Chinea reveals the extraordinary stories behind the development of 100 examples. From ancient inventions including Archimedes’ Screw, the illustrated entries span industrial and domestic items such as the book binder and coffee grinder as well as novelties – the first roller coaster, we learn, was built in response to Catherine the Great’s love of sledding and wish for a summer version.
