A Technology Transfer using the Models - Mechanical Models that Kyoto University purchased in Meiji Era -
Sohei SHIROSHITA(1) and Hiromitsu KUMAMOTO(2)
Abstract:
The machine models that were purchased shortly after the university foundation in 1897 are preserved in Kyoto University. The models include (1) a wooden steam locomotive which mimics very faithfully the original metal locomotive, and (2) mechanism models where various portions move according to handle movement manipulated by students, thus demonstrating the fundamentals of a machine mechanism. These two models were useful approaches to technology transfers in the Meiji Era. An alternative approach based on Internet is demonstrated for the machine mechanism models.
