Excerpt from The Progressive Machinist: A Practical and Educational Treatise, With Illustrations
Certain principles are fundamental; although knowl edge has advanced natural laws have remained and will re main; application may have changed, but nature's decrees are lasting; a straight line is the nearest distance between two points no matter what comes in between or what means are used to connect them. That is the principle; that is the law. Cohesion of matter always remains. Gravity is everywhere and instantaneous.
