Some Aspects of Evolution and Diffusion in European Technology 1. SOME ASPECTS OF EVOLUTION AND DIFFUSION IN EUROPEAN TECHNOLOGY 1450-1750 Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of History of Technology by Graham John Hollister-Short Department of History of Science and Technology Imperial College of Science and Technology University of London June 1976. 2. ABSTRACT The latter part of the period of three hundred years in European history from c.1450 to c.1750 is one of the more neg- lected in the history of technology. The present study is concerned to show something of the growing sophistication of machine design in Europe in this period and the settings in which these developments took place. Their cumulative effect was eventually to bring much of the continent, no less than Britain, to within measurable reach of the prospect of sustained economic growth. The nature of mechanical invention, the progressive adap- tation of machines to new tasks and the manner in which new tech- niques were diffused are all matters central to the development of the thesis. What is revealed very clearly is that Germany and England were the most technologically progressive areas of Europe. At first Germany was the principal generator of new technology, but from c.1700 the direction of flow was setting decisively out- wards from England. During the 16th century the development of mining in Germany gave rise to a sophisticated tradition of mechanical engin- eering which was eventually able to provide effective solutions, as with the Stangenkunst and the float-flume, to a whole range of difficulties in this field, particularly those connected with the problem of pumping and fuel supply. The English solution, that is, the use of coal and steam, to the same dual problem as it assumed serious dimensions took on so distinctive a form that by c.1750 two divergent models of technological development existed in Europe. It was not however the case that either was available for adoption in regions lying outside the narrow range of local conditions in response to which each had developed its characteristic forms. The German model was incapable, even in principle, of extension out- side its range, while the English model remained likewise generally unavailable to Europe in the absence of yet further technological development. 3.

Chapter One INTRODUCTION The idea which the present study first sought to develop was comparatively simple and straightforward. Since few would dispute that the complexity and range of mechanical devices at the disposal of Western Europeans underwent considerable development in the period c.1450 to c.1750, it appeared reasonable to suppose that some light might be thrown on how this development was achiev- ed by selecting for examination a number of discrete mechanical linkages or mechanisms that seemed likely, prima facie, to have played an important part in such a process. Each mechanism selected would be approached with two objects in mind. The first would be to seek to establish the origins, in time and place, of the item in question,and, if it were possible, attempt also to dis- cover the circumstances in which it came to be invented. The second would be to seek to trace its subsequent evol- ution and the paths by which it diffused; not only in space and time but also operationally as it was incorporated into a variety of new applications. Here one may remark that it is one of the curiosities of the history of technology that although invention lies at the heart of the discipline, little notice has been taken, with the honourable exception of Usher's essay, 'The emergence of novelty in thought and action', of what the act of invention involves in psycholo- gical terms'. This is something which must be examined further. For the moment, I wish to draw attention to ano- ther feature of invention, similarly neglected, which has 6. to do with the physical form which a device or mechanism assumed at the moment of its, creation. What is involved here is an analytical tool of great value, that is, the concept of skeuomorphism *. Whereas almost all who have written about invention have noted the step by step nature of technical development, which however expressed might be stated summarily as nil per saltum, no one has exploited the possibilities which such an evolutionary view of development carries with it as a corollary2. A newly invented device, ordinarily the result of a synthe- sis of pre-existing elements, will retain for some indeter- minate period features or traces of the matrix from which it took its rise. Some of these features may well be skeuomorphic or redundant in character as far as the actual functioning or utility of the new device is concerned, and, as they are perceived to be such, will be purged away. Thus begins the process of critical revision. If, however, sufficient early evidence is available for the period before such revision has obliterated the path by which it trav- elled, then from the p]rototype (which may perhaps have no other existence than in the pages of a note book) some- thing of the evolutionary history of the item in question may be securely established. Furthermore, the sequence forward in time is but part of what may be traced. It is also possible to move backwards from it. The redundant features carried over into the prototype may be sought for in pre-existing devices, and, if found, will permit the proximate milieu to be ascertained within which, or in terms of which the new concept, form or organizational whole was first realized. Here one returns directly to the question Skeuomorph (a/(4--01 , vessel;r('915 , form):an ornamental design the character of which is derived from the nature of the material of which it is composed. 7. of the modalities of perception established by gestalt psychology. A classic experiment, published by Kurt Koffka in 1915, demonstrated the basic idea of homogeneities and forces of cohesion which hold a shape or figure to- gether and render ineffective other stimuli which al- though present are able to become effective only if some new feature or inhomogeneity is introduced into the 3 figure . Such findings were to give concrete form to the, earlier, almost mystical, idea of gestaltqualitUt or 'form quality', an attempt to name the tendency, noticed long previously, for the eye to see things in certain constellations or configurations. Such tendencies sug- gested that there must be qualities belonging to organized forms over and above the various sensory ingredients that were present in a given situation. It is, in short, only by recognizing the power of the organizing forces present in certain configurations that one can begin to appreciate the immense perceptual diffidulty in breaking clear of one organizational whole in order to perceive another which is indeed seen but not seen as. The issue is one to which Russell Hanson devoted many luminous pages in his Patterns of Discovery, and one might take as illustration of the notion of seeing and seeing as that passage in which he sets Kepler and Brahe on a hill at dawn to watch the sun rise: "Let us consider Johann Kepler: imagine him on a hill watching the dawn. With him is Tycho Brahe. Kepler regarded the sun: it was the earth that moved. But Tycho followed Ptolemy and Aristotle in this much at least: the• S. earth was fixed and.all other celestial bodies moved around it. Do Kepler and Tycho see the same thing in 4 the east at dawn?" In one sense they do and in another they do not. They are, one might say, programmed diff- erently, and the visual data presented to them will fall into different discourses. Perhaps enough has now been said to establish, in outline at least, an elementary notion of what the vhen- omenon of invention involves in psychological terms, that is, the leap of stimulation, however mediated, from one strongly unified field to another. A gestalt, in brief, is not only organization but is a product of organization and is in its nature diametrically opposed to mere jux- taposition5.

  • The Smelting of Copper
    Chapter 4 The Smelting of Copper The first written account of the processes of smelting and refining of copper is to be found in the 12th century.1 On smelting: Copper is engendered in the earth. When a vein of which is found, it is acquired with the greatest labour by digging and breaking. It is a stone of a green colour and most hard, and naturally mixed with lead. This stone, dug up in abundance, is placed upon a pile, and burned after the manner of chalk, nor does it change colour, but yet looses its hardness, so that it can be broken up. Then, being bruised small, it is placed in the furnace; coals and the bellows being applied, it is incessantly forged by day and night. On refining: Of the purification of copper. Take an iron dish of the size you wish, and line it inside and and out with clay strongly beaten and mixed, and it is carefully dried. Then place it before a forge upon the coals, so that when the bellows acts upon it the wind may issue partly within and partly above it, and not below it. And very small coals being placed around it equally, and add over it a heap of coals. When, by blowing a long time, this has become melted, uncover it and cast immediately fine ashes over it, and stir it with a thin and dry piece of wood as if mixing it, and you will directly see the burnt lead adhere to these ashes like a glue.

  • Immersion Into Noise
    Immersion Into Noise Critical Climate Change Series Editors: Tom Cohen and Claire Colebrook The era of climate change involves the mutation of systems beyond 20th century anthropomorphic models and has stood, until recent- ly, outside representation or address. Understood in a broad and critical sense, climate change concerns material agencies that im- pact on biomass and energy, erased borders and microbial inven- tion, geological and nanographic time, and extinction events. The possibility of extinction has always been a latent figure in textual production and archives; but the current sense of depletion, decay, mutation and exhaustion calls for new modes of address, new styles of publishing and authoring, and new formats and speeds of distri- bution. As the pressures and re-alignments of this re-arrangement occur, so must the critical languages and conceptual templates, po- litical premises and definitions of ‘life.’ There is a particular need to publish in timely fashion experimental monographs that redefine the boundaries of disciplinary fields, rhetorical invasions, the in- terface of conceptual and scientific languages, and geomorphic and geopolitical interventions. Critical Climate Change is oriented, in this general manner, toward the epistemo-political mutations that correspond to the temporalities of terrestrial mutation.

ABSTRACT This thesis explores the ways in which the industrialist Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) used images of his manufactory and of himself to help develop what would now be considered a ‘brand’. The argument draws heavily on archival research into the commissioning process, authorship and reception of these depictions. Such information is rarely available when studying prints and allows consideration of these images in a new light but also contributes to a wider debate on British eighteenth-century print culture. The first chapter argues that Boulton used images to convey messages about the output of his businesses, to draw together a diverse range of products and associate them with one site. Chapter two explores the setting of the manufactory and the surrounding estate, outlining Boulton’s motivation for creating the parkland and considering the ways in which it was depicted.

  • Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas
    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

  • 141210 the Rise of Steam Power
    The rise of steam power The following notes have been written at the request of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Transport Division, Glasgow by Philip M Hosken for the use of its members. The content is copyright and no part should be copied in any media or incorporated into any publication without the written permission of the author. The contents are based on research contained in The Oblivion of Trevithick by the author. Section A is a very brief summary of the rise of steam power, something that would be a mighty tome if the full story of the ideas, disappointments, successes and myths were to be recounted. Section B is a brief summary of Trevithick’s contribution to the development of steam power, how he demonstrated it and how a replica of his 1801 road locomotive was built. Those who study early steam should bear in mind that much of the ‘history’ that has come down to us is based upon the dreams of people seen as sorcerers in their time and bears little reality to what was actually achieved. Very few of the engines depicted in drawings actually existed and only one or two made any significant contribution to the harnessing of steam power. It should also be appreciated that many drawings are retro-respective and close examination shows that they would not work. Many of those who sought to utilise the elusive power liberated when water became steam had little idea of the laws of thermodynamics or what they were doing. It was known that steam could be very dangerous but as it was invisible, only existed above the boiling point of water and was not described in the Holy Bible its existence and the activities of those who sought to contain and use it were seen as the work of the Devil.
