Educated by her father in the philosophy of the Encyclopaedists, Victorine Choquet went to Berlin in 1838 to study German, and there married in 1843 Paul Ackermann, an Alsatian philologist.
Soon after the publication of this volume Madame Ackermann removed to Paris,where she gathered round her a circle of friends, but published nothing further except a prose volume, the Pensees d'un solitaire (1883), to which she prefixed a short autobiography.

 No. 2075: Rudolph Ackermann
Ackermann's attention to detail, eye for talent, and ability to coordinate authors, artists, engravers, printers, binders, and booksellers led to a huge body of work of extraordinary quality.
Ackermann's stated goals for the magazine were "to convey useful information in a pleasing and popular form." As often happens, our actions have repercussions beyond our intentions.
Rudolph Ackermann did indeed "convey useful information." But, in the process, he created a treasure trove that still rewards exploration, and gives us the world of the nineteenth century.

 Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ackermann steering geometry is a geometric arrangement of linkages in the steering of a car or other vehicle designed to solve the problem of wheels on the inside and outside of a turn needing to trace out circles of different radii.
This engineering solution is attributable to Langensperger in 1816, but was patented by arrangement in London, in 1817, by Rudolph Ackermann, whose name stuck to it.
The Ackermann steering geometry arranges this automatically by moving the steering pivot points inward so as to lie on a line drawn between the steering kingpins and the centre of the rear axle.
