Abstract
The paper gives a historical overview of the development of mechanism or kinematic models for motion generation in mechanical engineering. Models can serve for teaching purposes and also serve as small test rigs when investigating the running behaviour and estimating the running quality of a mechanism or machine. So the development of mechanisms and machines through the last centuries since Antiquity is also coupled to the development of design of virtual and physical mechanism models.
