Abstract
By transforming fundamental theoretical solutions into functional mechanisms, Todor Lazar Pantelić became a pioneer of innovative structural synthesis. Most of his work evolved to the level of patents and industrial products. Professor Pantelić’s specialty was the four-bar chain in innumerable varieties such as walking, imprinting, and shutter mechanisms. The crown of his innovative work was the helical conveyor, theoretically established, patented, designed, and prototyped. Loved and admired by his students and colleagues, he made a point of introducing engineering talent and creativity into the science of machines and mechanisms. He was one of the founders of the International Federation for the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms (IFToMM) and the first president of its Commission for Collaboration of Science and Industry.

Acknowledgement
This text would have been impossible to write had it not been for the years I have spent learning, working, and forming scientific visions under the guidance of my teacher and mentor Prof. Todor Pantelić.
I wish to thank Prof. Pantelić’s close friends and colleagues who helped me reconstruct his creative work and ideas (in random order): Prof. Gerhard Boegelsack (TU Illmenau, Germany), Prof. Života Živković (MEF Niš, Serbia), and Prof. Aleksandar Sekulić (MEF Belgrade, Serbia).
The documents I relied upon were mainly from the library of the Machine Mechanics Institute, as well as from the library and the archives of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Belgrade. I am grateful to all the librarians and archivists who kindly helped me find my way around while preparing this text.
