Current Bibliography in the History of Technology (1971)

Current Bibliography in the History of Technology (1971) I view this tenth annual bibliography of current works on the history of technology with both satisfaction and dissatisfaction. The satisfaction arises from the fact that I think this is the most complete of the compilations issued to date; the dissatisfaction from the fact that I fear that I have nonetheless left unscanned some of those journals which I ought to have scanned, and I have scanned some journals which I ought not to have scanned, for there was surely no history of technology in them. Journals which were not indexed because of unavailability due to library binding schedules and other reasons will be included in the 1972 compilation. I will appreciate having readers bring to my attention the titles of any journals which I have not indexed, however, as I may be unaware of their existence. A ten-year cumulation of these bibliographies is scheduled to be issued in a separate form. For this reason, the organizational scheme and indexing methods have been kept as uniform as possible during the past ten years. Some changes are already planned for the elev­ enth bibliography, and I will be glad to hear from users any sugges­ tions for improvement in format and content as, in a sense, we will be beginning anew with the eleventh cumulation. The reader is referred to previous cumulations for descriptions of other continuing bibliographies pertaining to the history of tech­ nology (see Technology and Culture, Winter 1964, Spring 1965, Spring 1966, and the April issues, 1967 through 1972) and to the fifth publication in the SHOT Monograph Series in the History of Tech­ nology, Eugene S. Ferguson’s Bibliography of the History of Technology (Cambridge, Mass.: SHOT and M.I.T. Press, 1968). I am indebted to Bofeslaw OrZowski for systematically abstracting Polish journals for 1971 and to Stanley B. Winters for abstracting the Czechoslovakian literature. Thanks are also due to Eugene Emme, Mel Gorman, Bernard H. Gustin, Tom Hughes, David Kahn, and Mitchell R. Sharpe, all of whom contributed entries, to Otto Mayr for help with German titles, to Barbara Bauman for help 175 176 Jack Goodwin with Russian titles, to all members of SHOT who sent reprints or notices of their publications, and to all members of the Smithsonian libraries staff, who have assisted in many ways.
