| 1876 A. B. W. Kennedy tr. Reuleaux's Kinematics of Machinery vi. 234 Thus..the force-closed beam-chains became the imperfect but still kinematically far more complete ‘parallel motion’. 1915 R. F. McKay Theory of Machines viii. 93 A direct-acting steam engine and a quick-return motion are kinematically identical, though their general appearance would not suggest such a connection. 1955 J. S. Beggs Mechanism vi. 194 The kinematically equivalent chain thus obtained has all lower pairs, and Eq. (6–5) may be applied. 1971 D. W. Sciama Mod. Cosmol. xvi. 198 The rotation of the Galaxy can be detected not only dynamically from its flattened shape but also kinematically by observing the motions of stars..far out from the centre. |
