"What is a machine? Marx showed that" all fully developed
machinery consists of three essentially different parts, the motor
mechanism, the transmitting mechanism, and finally the tool or
working machine ".1 The machine is a man-made assemblage of
parts, such that if a motive force is applied and they are set
in motion, the operation of the machine produces certain results.
