Perhaps something like the Boston Museum of Science Clark Collection of Mechanical Movement

online edition of 507 Mechanical Movement.[0][1]

book : https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Engineering-Makers-Hands-D...

Youtube search "mechanial movement" shows quite a bit of material. (concepts & examples)
