Annotation: The HMM2004 International Symposium on History of Machines and Mechanisms is the second event of a series that started in 2000 as the main activity of the IFToMM Permanent Commission for History of MMS, Mechanism and Machine Science.
The aim of the HMM Symposium is to be a forum to exchange views, opinions, and experiences on the history of MMS from technical viewpoints in order to track the past but also to look at future developments in MMS.
These Proceedings contain about 30 papers by authors from all around the world. The papers cover the wide range of the history of mechanical engineering. and particularly the history of MMS. The contributions address mainly technical aspects of historical developments of machines and mechanisms. The history of the IFToMM, the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science, is also outlined through the historical activities of its Commissions. Original sources are referenced in the papers so that these Proceedings can be also considered a kind of handbook on the history of machines and mechanisms.

Publisher Description:
The HMM2004 International Symposium on History of Machines and Mechanisms is the second event of a series that has been started in 2000 as main activity of the IFToMM Permanent Commission for History of MMS, Mechanism and Machine Science. The aim of the HMM Symposium is to be a forum to exchange views, opinions, and experiences on History of MMS from technical viewpoints in order to track the past but also to look at future developments in MMS. The HMM Symposium Series is devoted to the technical aspects of historical deve- pments and therefore it has been addressed mainly to the IFToMM Community. In fact, most the authors of the contributed papers are experts in MMS and related topics. This year HMM Symposium came back to Cassino, after the challenging first event in 2000. The HMM2004 International Symposium on History of Machines and Mechanisms was held at the University of Cassino, Italy, from 12 to 15 May 2004. These Proceedings contain 29 papers by authors from all around the world. These papers cover the wide field of the History of Mechanical Engineering and particularly the History of MMS. The contributions address mainly technical aspects of historical developments of Machines and Mechanisms. History of IFToMM, the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science is also outlined through the historical activities of some of its Commissions.
