694 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE been included so that the reader could go immediately to the indi cated illustrations, especially those of Veranzio that depict his hori zontal windmills. The incorporation of an analysis of the windmills found in the 1979 edition of the late-15th-century manuscript of the two so-called Anonymous Hussite Engineers would have been quite relevant to the problem regarding the braking mechanism in a medi eva…

Engineering as a Social Enterprise
How is society influenced by engineering and technology? How in turn does society shape engineering and technology? This book from the National Academy of Engineering explores ways in which technology and society form inseparable elements in a complex sociotechnical system. The essays in this volume are based on the proposition that many forces move and shape engineering, technology, culture, and society. Six specialists both inside and outside t…

History of Technology: First Annual Volume, 1976
There is a very large literature on Bacon and his proposals for scientific enquiry, but so far no one has studied carefully his style of writing, his method of communicat- ing upon which he laid so much emphasis.Professor Stephens here presents and analyses in four chapters the style that Bacon found appropriate for scholarly and scientific writing.First he deals with the problems facing Bacon, and his debt to Aristotle in creating a neo-Aristote…

The Development of the Diesel Engine
In 1912, when the diesel engine was about twenty years old, just coming of age after a prolonged infancy and a painful adolescence, it was the subject of a celebrated controversy, in which the inventor, Rudolf Diesel (1858-1913), and two distinguished professors of engineering discussed the very topic that concerns us in this symposium: the distinctions among invention, development, and innovation as parts of the total process of technological ev…

The Role of Thermodynamics in the Evolution of Heat Engines LYNWOOD BRYANTThe first half of the 19th century was a period of rapid devel opment of the science of thermodynamics, and the second half was a period of rapid development of engines.My topic is the relation of these two movements.By 1850 a new conception of heat as a form of energy convertible into work in a regular, measurable way had been published and was beginning to make its way, n…

Hundert Jahre Sicherheit: Beiträge zur technischen und administrativen Entwicklung des Dampfkesselwesens in Deutschland 1810 bis 1910 by Gerhard Siegfried Sonnenberg (review)
TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 451 difficult book to pick up and read, though it is not a long work. The technical history is first-rate, the social and economic implications are fascinating, but too infrequent. As hardware history the book is difficult to fault; as social and economic history it is tantalizing but incomplete. It is always unfair to criticize an author for what he or she did not intend to do. It still seems to this reviewer …

The Origin of the Four-Stroke Cycle
In an earlier paper1 on the genesis of a gas engine built by Nicolaus August Otto in 1876, I tried to follow the course of Otto's thought and to explain the success of his engine. Otto attributed his success to what he called the stratified charge, a special way he devised of mixing the fuel and air in his cylinder. His theory was wrong, but guided by this theory he built a remarkably successful and influential engine, the earliest recognizable a…

The Silent Otto
The story of the gas engine that I am calling the Silent Otto-the first engine to operate on the four-stroke cycle, and the first to achieve compression of the charge within the working cylinder-has been told before.1 But I should like to go over it again in order to consider a question that still seems significant to a historian interested in technology and culture: Why was this engine suddenly successful after seventyfive years of rather fumbli…
