Coping With Error in the History of Mechanics
The Development of the Deformation Method
The Mechanics of Timbrel Vaults
The Use of a Particular Form of the Parallelogram Law of Forces for the Building of Vaults

The Slow and Tortuous Development of 'Newtonian' Principles of Motion in the Eighteenth Century
A Historical Survey of Impact Theories
