Theatrum machinarum novum, das ist, Neu-vermehrter Schauplatz der mechanischen Künsten : handelt von allerhand Wasser- Wind- Ross- Gewicht- und Hand-Mühlen ... ; beneben nützlichen Wasser-Künsten ...
Theatrum machinarum novum is a 1673 German treatise on mills and mechanical engineering, published in Nürnberg by Georg Andreas Böckler for craftsmen, millwrights and engineers. Its copper-engraved plates show water wheels, windmills, horse-driven and hand mills, and fountain machinery drawn with lettered reference points. A designer can take from them the dense hatching, the clear cutaway views of gears and wheels, and the diagram-like labelling of parts.
