It was an honor to receive the Max Jakob Memorial Award for 2018. This invited paper is based on the award lecture and is written in an informal style expanding on the lecture and focusing on work in which I have been involved over the past 60-years. Early experimental and theoretical work was published only in conference proceedings when this was regarded an alternative to a journal and not, as seems to be the case nowadays, prior to journal publication or for incomplete work. I welcome this opportunity to clarify and make some of this earlier work more readily accessible. My comments on more recent work of others are also included. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As the most prestigious award in the field of machine design, the ASME Machine Design Award relishes its prestige and prominence. In the past 65 years since its inception in 1958, 60 eminent scholars have received this honor. This paper reviews the history of this prestigious award, including a summary of the contributions to the field of all 60 recipients, and acts as an archival document. Reviewing these awards in the past 65 years by following the tracks of its recipients elucidates developments in the field and significant contributions to the advancement of knowledge in machine design. In particular, novel contributions and remarkable achievements in the fields of mechanical engineering and machine design and development are recorded. This should be of interest to those interested in the study and in the historical development of mechanical engineering, particularly in machine design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
