We are told in the introductory panel of this unusual and interesting exhibit that the ubiquitous people movers of its title log more passenger miles each year than automobiles, airplanes, or trains. It is estimated that the world's elevators, escalators, and moving sidewalks collectively move the equivalent of the earth's population every three days—a figure that some of us might question when we consider the assembled inhabitants of China, Indi…
Otis
There are few industries in which one firm's name is so synonymous with a product as is the Otis name. Though the famed elevator (and escalator) builder never in its 150-year history was without competition—occasionally fierce—it has remained the world leader in its field. Odd, then, that Jason Goodwin's book is the first full-length company history

A Report of the Mohawk-Hudson Area Survey
The Stationary Steam Engine by George Watkins (review)
610 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE attempts at technological reform in backward autocracies at that time— as it still does. Chip-on-the-shoulder chauvinism unhappily besets the historiography of technology in the U.S.S.R. and, alas, not only there. Britkin suffers from it, with the rest. As The Craftsmen of Tula was first published in 1950, there are obligatory quotations from Stalin (banal observations that Stalin could well have taken from…

The New England textile mill survey
Industrial Archeology at the Smithsonian Institution
Although it was not until recently that we knew what to call it, the concepts of had been recognized for years at the Smithsonian, albeit lying more or less dormant and without much indulgence in field activity. In 1963 a series of emanations from England -mainly a visit from Kenneth Hudson and the appearance of his book, Industrial Archaeology-brought us suddenly to the realization that not only was there a proper name for the study of technolog…
Assembling a New Hall of Civil Engineering
of the processes by which it was conceived, designed, and given physical form is of interest not only by virtue of its unique position among American museums but because certain aspects of its realization are common to the preparation of museum exhibit halls in other fields of science and technology. Despite its importance in man's adaptation to his surroundings, the field of civil engineering has, until the recent past, received hardly more than…
