We live in an age in which one can easily think that our generation
has invented and discovered almost everything; but the truth is
quite the opposite. Progress cannot be considered as sudden
unexpected spurts of individual brains: such a genius, the inventor
of everything, has never existed in the history of humanity. What
did exist was a limitless procession of experiments made by men who
did not waver when faced with defeat, but were inspired by the rare
successes that have led to our modern comfortable reality. And that
continue to do so with the same enthusiasm. The study of the
History of Engineering is valuable for many reasons, not the least
of which is the fact that it can help us to understand the genius
of the scientists, engineers and craftsmen who existed centuries
and millenniums before us; who solved problems using the devices of
their era, making machinery and equipment whose concept is of such
a surprising modernity that we must rethink our image of the past.
