Fluid power has long been used by man. Sailboats were in use 5000 years ago nd there is evidence tht the first water wheels were build between 200 and 1000 BC. ndeed, before the development of the stem engine the only sources of mechanical power were human, animal muscle and fluid power (water or wind).

This book looks at both the history, challenges and adaptations, and future and potential of fluid power in multiple forms and went on to become a foundational text for many books afterwards.
