The Camshaft -- Older than you think.

            A camshaft is a shaft to which a cam is fastened or of which a cam forms an integral part.

The camshaft was described in Turkey (Diyarbakır) by Al-Jazari in 1206. He employed it as part of his automata, water-raising machines, and water clocks such as the castle clock. The camshaft later appeared in European mechanisms from the 14th century.

Among the first cars to utilize engines with single overhead camshafts were the Maudslay designed by Alexander Craig and introduced in 1902 and the Marr Auto Car designed by Michigan native Walter Lorenzo Marr in 1903
