Netherlands wood (plant material). brass (alloy)The wooden coffee grinder on grey backgroundKey 15th century German The decoration of Gothic iron locks and keys was often elaborate and of the highest standard of workmanship. The motifs were frequently drawn from Gothic architecture, reproducing on a miniature scale complicated tracery patterns and even tiny statuettes. A number of these tiny locks were compound, with some of the mechanisms concealed from view, and required two or even three keys used in sequence to open them. It has been suggested that the greatly expanded use of locks on doors, or coffrets and other types of storage chests was a result of the increasing urbanization of life and the new emphasis on material wealth and private ownership which developed in the late Middle Ages..

Scale 1:10 (estimate). Netherlands wood (plant material). brass (alloy)Re-construction of a Cam Hammer, from a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, in the Madrid Codex I, folio 92 v. Leonardo applied a cam to this simple mechanical device for transforming rotary motion into intermittent motion. The energy that moves this device so that the hammer continuously strikes the anvil is derived directly from the hand crank, its rotary motion directly activating the cam: the hand crank is inserted into the side of the axis of the same and has a circular profile with a sudden break in it. By turning this, the lever to which the hammer is attached tilts forward, returning to its initial position when the hand crank has done a complete turn. Using the law of gravity, the hammer continues to fall heavily on the anvil; an automation process that relieves human fatigue. After having been long used in automatic meshes, the cam is now widely used in car engines, which deliver power by activating a camshaft..
