From the time it was organized in 1880, the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers recorded aspects of the history of the
mechanical engineering profession and the careers of some of its
notable practitioners. The Society's historical efforts were
formalized in 1971 with the creation of a History and Heritage
Committee. This volume commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the
formation of that committee and collects, in a single place, many
of the historical contributions published over the past fifty years
in ASME's flagship magazine, Mechanical Engineering. In preparation
for the United States' bicentennial year, and later the Society's
centennial, the editors of Mechanical Engineering contracted with
engineer-historian Fritz Hirschfeld for a long series of articles
about the county's early mechanical engineering heritage and the
lives of notable mechanical engineers, particularly those
associated with ASME's founding. Hirschfeld's articles form the
foundation of this volume. To supplement Hirschfeld's work, the
editors have added numerous other historical articles published in
Mechanical Engineering. The engineering innovations described by
these articles have been enormously important to the development of
modern technological society, and the stories behind their
development should be of interest to engineers interested in the
history of their profession, as well as anyone interested in
American history.
