PREFACIO
Cuando Ios originales del Engineers' Dictionay quedaron listos en 1943, la segunda guerra mundial estaba en su apogeo y esto llev6 a la casa editora y a1 autor a convenir de que el libro no debia exceder de unas cuatrocientas cincuenta p&ginas. A l g b material debib ser retirado y aunque el libro resultante trataba detenidamente de ingenieria civil, no pudo contener muchos tbrminos usados en otras ramas de la ingenieria. Poco tiempo despues de su publicacih yo me retire del trabajo activo de ingenieria y desde entonces he tenido amplias oportunidades para dedicarme a la compilacih de un diccionario m4s extenso. El material que debib ser retirado se ha agregado ahora y se ha estudiado una gran cantidad de material nuevo. He consultado con muchos amigos de la Ambrica Latina y en cada viaje he trafdo conmigo publicaciones t6cnicas de diversas clases como fuente de t6rminos espaiioles. Constantemente he escudrifiado las revistas de ingenieria y 10s libros nuevos publicados en ambos idiornas. El campo de acci6n sigue siendo la ingenieria y las referencias frecuentes a la qufmica, la geologfa o la metalurgia no significan que estas materias e s t h totalmente abarcadas en este libro. Cada una de ellas necesitaria un volumen aparte. Los tkrminos incluidos de estas u otras materias son aquellos regularmente requeridos en un trabajo o estudio de ingenieria. Igual criterio se hhaseguido en la selecci6n de algunos pocos terminos de finanzas, seguros y transportes. Al ampliar la obra mis principales propbsitos han sido 10s siguientes:
a ingenieria el6ctrica y rnechica en manera mucho m$s amplia. Abarcar I

La radio que no se rnencion6 para nada en la primera edici6n ha recibido cuidadoso estudio. Sc han incluido t4rminos importantes de la televisibn. Poner a1 dia todos 10sramos de la ingenieria civil. Se ha dado especial atenci6n a la mechnica de 10s suelos, a la fotograrnetrfa y a1 proyecto y construccidn de
aeropuertos. Incluir Ios t6rrninos mbs importantes correspondientes a minerfa, arquitectura naval, explotaci6n forestal, industria azucarera y campos petroliferos. Una nueva adici6n es la indicaci6n de ghero de 10s substantivos en espafiol.

El objeto de un diccionario t h i c o es proporcionar inhrmaci6n que no se

encuentra en otra partc. Se supone que el diccionario de Webster incluye todas y cada una de las palabras del idioma ingl&, alin las mbs tbcnieas, pero no abarca Ias frases que figuran en glosarios oficinles de Ins sociedndes de ingenieria. Muchas de las palabras de esr;e libro se encuentran tambi6n en 10s mejores diccionarios generales inglk-espaiiol. Buttress se encuentra en cuulquiera de ellos, igualmente que thread, pero no buttress thread. Aguja y tarnbih infernal se encuentran, pero no aguja injemal. La mayoria de mis esfuerzos se han vii

concentrado en el registro de significados o equivalentes de locuciones que no pueden expresarse con una sola palabraLa nomenclatura de piezas de maquinaria requiere un constante uso de buen criteria. Cada fabricante tiene su propia lista de piezas para cada maquina y algmas rnAquinas constan de tantas que llegan a1 millar. Las partes principales de una msiquina deben enumerarse y con ellas, fuera de 10s tdrminos como cojinete, leva, tornillo, resorte, rodillo y vdlvula, deben identificarse con un nombre la gran mayoria de las piezas componentes. A pemr de algunos consejos adversos recibidos, yo creo todavia que las definicionesestkn fuera de lugsr en un diccionario tBcnico bilingiie. El interesado que busca en un libro como Bste el tbrrnino slip-ring moior quiere encontrar el equivalente aceptado en espaiiol y no una descripci6n del motor. Las definiciones aumentarian mucho el volurnen del Iibro. La prhctica seguida ha sido la de definir un t h n i n o solamente a1 carecer de un equivalente satisfactorio y en algunos casos para evitar ambigiiedades. Es obvio que existen en este libro rnuchas palabras, tanto en espafiol como en ingks, que tienen otros significados ademtis de 10sanotados. Se han omitido 10s significados no t6cnicos, asi como aquellos que pertenecen a la bothica, zoologia y otras ciencias de inter& muy relativo para el ingeniero. Algunos de 10s thminos de la obra original han sido criticados IlamAndolos "ma1 espafiol". Un critic0 me ha dicho que la incorporaci6n de tales tbrminos a un diccionario tiende s perpetuarlos y a perjudicar el idioma. Mi punto de vista es que la exactitud de 10s terrninos tecnicos en cualquier idioma es establecida por 10s t6cnicos que 10s crean y 10s usan, y la tarea del cornpilador del diccionario es la de registrar ssu uso. En esta obra se trata de dar n 10s t6cnicos de habla inglesa de la Ambrica del Norte la terminologia de ingenieria usada en 10s palses de habla espafiola de Amhrica y viceversa. Terminos tornados de publicaciones oficiales, de especificaciones de ingenieros y de libros de texto se consideran expresiones usadas y "aceptadas". Para muchos miles de thminos en ingl6s no hay equitralente en "buen espaiiol" si se sigue el criterio de la Real Academia. Esta es la raz6n de la diferencia entre unos 125,000 t6rminos en el dccionario de la Academia y de unos 500,000 en el de Webster. Los equivalentes en espafiol de marcas de fBbrica o de comercio en ingles presentan un problema. La simple aseveraci6n de que estos nombres no pueden traducirse no soluciona el problema, porque muchas traducciones son de uso corriente en 10s paises de habfa espafiola. Muchos de estos tbrminos ya se han incorporado a otros diccionarios en espafiol o en espaiiol-inglbs. Hay propietarios de marcas de fhbrica o comercio quienes han creado expresamente equivalentes en espaiiol para usarlos en su propaganda. Yo he seguido la practica de incluir todo thrmino de esta clase que he encontrado en buen uso te'cnico. Debe notarse que muchos tkrminos en inglks de esta claw se han hecho tan conocidos que con la sanci6n de Webster regularrnente se escriben sin mayhcula. Para la mayorfa de estos t6rminos hay equivalentes en espaiiol igualmente bien establecidos. s Muchos amigos que me proporcionaron consejos en la prepnraci6n de 1 obra original me hnn nyudado de nuevo. Estoy particulftrrnente agradecido a1 scfior George C. Bunker con quien he pasado muchas horas en Caracas.

PREFACE
Under the war conditions of 1943, when the original Engineers' Dictiomy was in preparation, publisher and author agreed that the book ought to be kept down to about 450 pages. Some material had to be laid aside, and although the resulting book dealt thoroughly with civil engineering, it could not go very far with the terms of other fields. Shortly after publication of the original book I retired from active work and have since found ample time to devote to the compilation of a much more comprehensive dictionary. The items formerly laid aside have been worked in and a mass of new material has been studied. I have consulted many friends in Latin America and from each trip have brought back technical publications of many kinds to be worked over for my Spanish terms. I have constantly combed the engineering periodicals and the newest books in both languages. My field is still engineering. Frequent references to chemistry, geology, or metallurgy do not mean that these subjects are covered. Each of them would need a volume of its own. Terms of these and other sciences here included are those which are regularly needed in connection with engineering work. The same criterion has governed the selection of a very few of the terms of finance, insurance, and transportation. In enlarging the book my principal objectives have been three:
1. To cover electrical and mechanical engineering much more thoroughly. Radio, of which the first edition had nothing, has been given thorough study. Important terms of television have been included. 2. To bring all branches of civil engineering up to date. Special attention has been given to photogrammetry, soil mechanics, and airport construction. 3. To include the important terma peculiar to mining, shipbuilding, logging, sugar milling, and oil-field operations. A new feature is the notation of gender w i t h all Spanish nouns. The purpose of a technical dictionary is t o furnish information not found elsewhere. Webster's is supposed to include every word in the English language no matter how technical, but it does not cover the phrases that are listed in official glossaries of the engineering societies. Many of the words in this book will be found also in the best English-Spanish general dictionaries. Broad is found anywhere and so is irrigation, but not broad irrigation. Buttress is found and so is thread, but they cannot be combined into an equivalent for buttress threud. Most of my effort has gone into pinning down the phrases. The listing of machine parts calls for the constant use of judgment. Every manufacturer has his own list of parts for each machine, and some machines have parts running into the thousands. The principal members of a machine xi

must be listed, and with these, plus terms like bearing, cam, bolt, spring, roller, and valve, equivalents of the vast hajority of part names may be written easily. I n spite of some advice t o the contrary I still believe that defiriitions are out of place in a two-language technical dictionary. The user who turns t o slipring motor in a book such as this wants the accepted Spanish equivalents of that term and is not looking for a description of a slip-ring motor. Definitions ~vould add greatly to the book's bulk. M y practice has been to define a tern1 only in default of a satisfactory equivalent or occasionally t o avoid ambiguity. Obviously there are many words here, both Spanish and English, that have meanings other than those given. Nontechnical meanings luve usually been ignored, as have those which belong to botany, zoology, or other sciences that do not concern the engineer. Some of the terms in the original book have been criticized as "had Spanish." One critic tells me t h a t the listing of such terms in any dictionary tends to perpetuate them and does a n injury to the language. M y own view is t h a t the correctness of technical terms in any language is established by the technical men who create them and use them, and the job of the dictionary maker is to record this usage. This book aims to give the North American technical man the accepted engineering terminology of Spanish America, and vice versa. Terms taken from official publications, from engineers' specifications, and from textbooks are "accepted" terms. For many tllousancIs of English technical terms there are no ((good Spanish" equivalents, if the Royal Academy is to be the criterion. This is the principal reason for the difference between some 125,000 entries in the Academy dictionary and 5OO,OOO in Webster's. Spanish equivalents of English trade names are a problem. The simple statement that proprietary names cannot be translated does not cover the situation because they are regularly being translated in Spanish-speaking countries. Many such terms have already appeared in other dictionaries, both straight Spanish and English-Spanish. There are owners of English trade names who have deliberately created Spanish equivalents for use in their advertising. My rule has been to include every term of this kind that I have found in good technical use. It is to be noted also that there are a great many trade nanles in English that have become so well known that, with Webster's approval, they are reguIarly written without the capital letter. For most of the terms in this class there are Spanish equivalents cqually well established. Many friends who advised with me in the preparation of the original book have again been helpful. 1 a m particularly grateful t o Mr. George C. Bunker with whom I have spent many hours in Caracas. ~ e s i d e s giving freely of his own time he introduced mc to Venezuelan engineers from whom I obtained material of great value. For terms of sanitary engineering, both in English and in Spanish, I have to thank Mr. Edmund B, Besselievre of the Dorr Co. arid Mr. Tombs R. Yglesias of Mexico City. Sefior Junn de Dios Tejada of Havana gave me his expert advice on many questions. The vocabulary of geophysicul exploration, both English and Spanish, was furnished by engineers of the Socony Vucuuin Oil Co.
