About mechanisms

A large proportion of man made objects contain mechanisms - there are so many of them around that we tend to take them for granted. Simple items such as scissors, wheelbarrows and taps are all based on mechanisms, while more complicated objects such as a car or the human body, may contain hundreds of mechanisms but all are based on just a few basic types.
