Franz Anton Gerstner published the book "Handbook Of Mechanics" which was related to his father's lectures after his father's death.
He became famous for designing and building railroad lines. Because of his commitment for the horse tramway Budweis-Linz (a connection from Moldau to Donau) he is called prime father of railway draft.
