	tl;dr: An online adaptation of Henry T. Brown's classic technical reference "507 Mechanical Movements," featuring animated versions of the original illustrations. Not all 507 movements are animated yet—completed ones are marked with color thumbnails—and more are being added over time.
	HN Discussion: ~Site is great but lacks titles/names for individual movements, hurting usability ↑Loves the site and wishes the animations were completed •Sharing related collections, books, and resources on mechanical movements ↓Content is repetitive with minor variations, wants a distilled version ↑Technical curiosity/discussion about specific mechanisms shown on the site
