Abstract

Mr S. E. A. Walker, MIEAust, of Sydney, has prepared a volume titled "Modest man of genius - an account of A.G.M. Michell and the crankless engine" together with a most comprehensive collection of documents, drawings and photographs, which he has generously presented to the Institutions' Library.

The collection includes calculations and memoranda in Michell's own handwriting - very rare items indeed, because most of Michell's personal papers were destroyed several years after his death.
