Dear all,
Having sent enquiries to me in the past regarding mechanical engineering , I
thought you might like to see the Science Museum's new website, Making the
Modern World Online- it's at http://www.makingthemodernworld.org.uk.
The site is bursting at the seams with info about the history of science and
technology, based around our collections. As far as the history of
engineering is concerned, you might like to have a look at....
http://www.makingthemodernworld.org.uk/stories/the_age_of_the_engineer/03.ST
.02/
http://www.makingthemodernworld.org.uk/stories/manufacture_by_machine/03.ST.
01/
http://www.makingthemodernworld.org.uk/stories/enlightenment_and_measurement
/05.ST.02/
...among much else.
I understand (from people who know about these things) that the site is
optimised for a broadband connection; I suspect it may load up rather slow
with a 56k modem.
Future plans involve making it even bigger and comprehensive. Hope you find
it interesting.
Regards
Ben Russell
