A major breakthrough in this period was the transformation of the translation movement into rotational motion (with the direction of rotation reversed at each cycle). This principle was applied in a device called ** Pulled String Drilling **
The proof of the existence of this mechanism was a painting found in a tomb dating from 1450 BC.
